See where a flamboyant social scene emerged in the post-war years, paving the way for gay community organisations. Visit the first office of the AIDS Council to recall the challenges posed in the 1980s by HIV, and pause at Browns Mart where theatre shows in the 1990s celebrated the lives of lesbians and gay men.
Finally, we trace the steps of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who in 1992 exorcised from the Parliament the homophobia then preventing the safe passage of anti-discrimination legislation. The good Sisters set the pace for later law reforms based on equality! Please note: Sequence of tour and venues to visit subject to change.
