Newcastle also has its share of urbanised Red-rumps, and are seen regularly in some places close to the inner suburbs, particularly around Broadmeadow and I have also seen them on the foreshore and quite often at Stockton. These are certainly not escapee birds.

Apologies for boring non-Sydney birding-aus'ers. I've seen Red-rumps
(rarely) at Bicentennial park in Glebe. Not quite the CBD but in the
Sydney City local governement area. I've seen them regularly around the
golf courses in the Concord Five Dock area. There are some fenced grassy
areas around the light rail in Lilyfield that look suitable. Incidentally
I've seen a suggestion that the Sydney population was founded by escapees.
But given species like Crested Pigeons and White-plumed Honeyeaters
havce made their own way to teh centre of Sydney some Red-rumps probably
have too.
