Sydney CBD seems pretty ok to me for street.
I did get this look once
But this guy wasn't in a photo, but after I spotted the dirty my way I did snap his photo :-D
I do get fairly close to people as well and have slowly been getting into the "walk right past me" kinda shots instead of lurking behind. It's not as bad as you think. I always hold the camera after the shot so it looks like I was photographing something else, or I just look past them. Either way I've gone in the city quite often and never, ever once had a problem.
Like I said, keep holding the camera up after the shot, and look through them afterwoods. Works like a charm.
You can check out some more street stuff on my blog if you wanna see how close "close" is http://www.theleakinglightbox.blogspot.com/
PS: Or you could just snap the stray dogs around your area, like this one nearish the CBD at Kings Kross ;-)
Hope it gets better for you mate,
