SydneyThe New South Wal pal has long been regnised as one of the top statns the world for LGBTQI travellers, and around Mardi Gras time, you’ll feel like the whole cy has turned gay. We probably don’t need to tell you that much of the party actn Sydney occurs around Oxford Street Darlghurst and Kg Street Newtown, or that the most popular gay cy beach are at North Bondi and Tamarama.

My advice is to spend the night Hobart at the charmg gay-owned Corda’s Cottag takg the f and galleri around the betiful sandstone buildgs at Salaman Place, then hire a vehicle and h the road.

Tasmania also now has more acknowledgement of s same sex history tourism rmatn cludg early gay explorers, nvict love and “psdo-mal”. The Adventur of Priscilla, Queen of the Dert (1994)While same-sex marriage was only ma legal Atralia 2017, the untry has a fairly strong rerd on LGBT rights, and Sydney is one of the most gay-iendly ci the world.

Before the 1970s, the sexualy of probable gay characters was not ma explic, for example the effemate sal assistant  Dad and Dave Come to Town (1938). The Set (1970) is the first Atralian film wh homosexualy as a central theme, while gay men appeared sexploatn favour such as Atralia after Dark (1975) and The ABCs of Love and Sex: Atralia Style (1978), which H was for homosexualy.

The 1990s were a goln era for gay Ozzie films, while the new lennium has seen a glut of low-budget gay surfer dramas, cludg the easy-on-the-eye Newstle (2008), the nihilistic Drown (2015) and the downright bizarre Tan L (2006).

The Naked Bunyip (1970)Homosexualy was tnip to many of the filmmakers behd the wave of sexploatn documentari that flourished Atralia the 1970s, which often served as an exce to show tillatg shots of lbians gettg down to bs the bedroom. Not so The Naked Bunyip, the grandfather of Atralian sexploatn, which a lengthy segment is voted to a gay male dock worker, who talks ndidly about his life.

The film draws parallels between the close mascule relatnships that form unr the Atralian phenomenon of ‘mathip’ and homosexualy, while talkg heads discs the importance of crimalisg gay sex, which at the time of the documentary was a crimal offence  Atralia.

Although seldom tegorised as a gay film, viewers won’t need to dive ep for the queer subtext this vlent, male-domated world.
