Pumping at Redfern Heights
Yes, there is a Redfern Heights - how salubrious is that - sounds much better than Redfern East.
I was told about the Heights today which is where the petrol station is - 10 Botany Road, Redfern Heights.
Anyway, this is about my favourite petrol station - who would have thought I would even want to write about one. But let me tell you; this is like an old-fashioned petrol station (even if they don't pump the petrol for you) - independently owned by Mary and Eric for 35 years they offer service with a smile.
Mary started there when 27 years old (and a slim size 8) - she may not be a size 8 anymore, but   I am sure her smile hasn't changed.
Without fail, whenever I go there I leave with a smile thanks to Mary

Whenever I buy petrol I also buy a snake - today I was not charged and then Mary offered me another one - not being a greedy person I politely declined. 
As I didn't have my camera with me at the time, I returned to take her photo and she offered me another snake (I feel like the snake woman) which I did accept with thanks as that was not being greedy I think.
