Frog Hollow - Albion St & Riley St - Surry Hills




                                    FrogHollow - Cnr Of Albion Street & Riley Street - Surry Hills 
                                    




Boy Has This Place Changed, Even Since I Was Young. This Is a Where I Spent My First Christmas Alone After I ran Away From Boarding School In 1993. I Was 15, It Was Christmas Eve & Both My Parents Had Bombed Themselves Out On Sleepers, Valiums, Rohypnols.... Whatever.... Needless To Say They Slept Right Through Till Boxing Day Night...

So There I Am In The Old Frog Hollow.... & It Was Really Quite Scary... I Met This Aboriginal Girl Who Lived In A Tent Like Thing In The Corner Of The Park Section... For The Life Of Me I Can't Remember Her Name... But She Was Homeless & I Remember She Took Me Under Her Wing That Night & We Got Drunk On Passion Pop.  She Took Me Right Around Kings Cross. I Got To Meet A Lot Of Working Girls & Other Homeless People.. I Remember Arriving Back To  Queens Park Hilton About Lunchtime On Christmas Day Exhausted & Hungover. & That Was My Christmas 1992
