"But everything just started to turn in a really bad way and I asked my friend a few days ago and she said many of the protesters began to do extreme things. It has now become chaos. It's getting really, really bad."
With large-scale protests beginning back in June, the situation has quickly continued to escalate.
To show their solidarity with law enforcement officers in Hong Kong, many at Saturday's rally held up signs with messages of support for police.
While others raised red banners with slogans of praise for the Hong Kong SAR government and chanted "We love China, we love Hong Kong," the large group also sang the Chinese national anthem and hoisted the Chinese and Australian national flags in unison.
It's so hard to see the police, with one policeman's finger bitten off by rioters, one of the group's female organisers who asked to be referred to as CC told Xinhua.
"I think those rioters should stop what they are doing and truly talk to the government, not using violence. Talking is the way. Violence is not."
"This is not peaceful at all."
A Chinese-Australian citizen named Ray told Xinhua "We are all Chinese. There is only one China... Doesn't matter if you are from Hong Kong or Taiwan, we are all Chinese. We are all brothers and sisters," he said.
