Wilkins Public School vs Australia St Infants School?

Does anyone have experience of either or both of these schools? I'm trying to choose between them for my daughter (enters Kindy next year).

I have grown up in Ashfield and then lived at petersham for 17 years , summer hill 4 yrs, now i am in Croydon.
My friend whom is a TAFE teacher took her daughter out of Summer Hill Public School in yr 4 to send her to Wilkins and her daughter loved it, i have attended the schools fete over the years and found the vibe to be relaxed with hippie intellectual parents that seemed to put alot of effort into the stalls . My daughter who was 8yrs @ the time thought the playground was beautiful ! for a inner west school it is alot greener compared to the concrete jungles of other schools..hang around the school for eg:do a few mock trips on different days as if you were dropping your daughter off and then come back in the arvo as if you were picking her up and consider the other parents and kids as they start and finish the day and interact with each other -cause this is who your daughter will be interacting with, and picking up influences from! check out the parking and traffic conditions at those times cause that is what you will be having to deal with for the next 6yrs. I have heard through other parents at summer hill public over the years that wilkins was starting to become a progressive school , to be honest i have never heard any one speak of australia st so i cant give a opinion on that.
Having a daughter that just finished @ primary my only suggestion is "goodluck!" and be strong!
