In all of the time I have been there I have never seen anyone that looked like a streetwalker. I would guess the brothels are a little more subtle with their appearance as I have never noticed one.

Love Sydney! Was there on USS Independence CV-62 in 1992 for the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea. They made a real big deal about having us in port for about a week. Some crazy number of people visited the ship. I only had one duty day while we were in port, so got to see a lot. The Rocks, Bondai Beach, Sydney Aquarium. If not for the language, it seemed very much like California.
