Kings Cross
Once home to music halls and grand theatres, Kings Cross was
transformed after World War II with the arrival of hundreds of
troops visiting from the nearby naval base, and today still carries
the reputation as the city's red-light district. Although the
nightclubs, strip clubs, bars, restaurants and adult shops are
still there, the atmosphere is slowly changing and levels of
prostitution and drug-use have declined in recent years. The
introduction of trendy cafes and the redevelopment of apartment
buildings are attracting a wider crowd of people. The Cross is most
sleazy at night when the bright lights come on, but during the day
is an interesting mix of characters.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
