New South Wales Accommodation Guide
New South Wales guide
Australia’s cultural capital and home to some of the country’s most scenic views and
locations, New South Wales offers a memorable experience, whatever your tastes. From
Sydney’s thriving nightlife to the natural splendour of the Snowy Mountains, there’s
something to suit the tastes of every traveller.
New South Wales [ MARDI GRAS! ]
From its controversy-stirring roots to its current
status as a much-loved celebration of diversity,
the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has
never been short of attention. Terry Stuart
looks at one of New South Wales’ most vibrant
institutions, its history and all its lovers and
loathers.
Few of the 1,000 lesbians and gay men who gathered at Taylor Square in
Sydney’s inner-city Darlinghurst precinct at around 10pm on 24 June, 1978
could have imagined they were giving birth to the world’s largest night-time
gay and lesbian celebration. They had come together for a festival and
street parade down Oxford Street, then fast becoming the centre of
Sydney’s gay night life.
The parade was the final event of the Sydney gay movement’s participation
in International Gay Solidarity Day. It began as a festive occasion, with
people, some in costume, dancing and marching down Oxford Street. At
Whitlam Square it transformed itself into a protest march when police
prevented the parade from entering Hyde Park. It ended with a police
blockade and riots in Darlinghurst Road, Kings Cross and lesbians and gay
men chanting and singing gay liberation songs outside Darlinghurst Police
Station in support of the 53 arrestees inside. So the Mardi Gras tradition
began.
The ending of the first Mardi Gras guaranteed a second the following year and a
third in 1980 - on one of the coldest nights of the year. In September/October 1980
three, often rowdy and bitter, public meetings resolved to move Mardi Gras to the
end of summer as “a celebration and festival of coming out, its political goals to
demonstrate the size of the communities, their variety of lifestyles and their right to
celebrate in the streets, so as to enable the broadening of support for gay rights”.
Celebration. Visibility. Diversity. The fight for rights. By defining Mardi Gras in
these terms, the 1980 public meetings laid the foundations for Mardi Gras’
spectacular growth throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and not just in the parade. In
the early 1980s, a post-parade party was introduced as a vehicle for fund-raising
and crowd dispersal. In 1983 the Our Lives Ourselves Festival was held to coincide
with Mardi Gras. That paved the way for the first Mardi Gras Festival in 1985. By
the early 1990s, one Festival event, Fair Day, had established itself as the largest
lesbian and gay daytime event in Australia.
With growth has come evolution. In 1988, the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras became the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. By the early 1990s Mardi Gras’ appeal was
moving beyond Sydney as lesbian and gay groups from other towns, other states and other countries began taking part. In 1994 the parade was televised
nationally for the first time.
Of course, Mardi Gras has had its enemies. In 1984, the Sydney Anglican diocese unsuccessfully tried to
prevent Mardi Gras assembling in Town Hall Square. In 1985 there were calls to cancel the parade
because of the AIDS crisis. And there has always been Fred – the notoriously homophobic Reverend File
Nile.
Mardi Gras wouldn’t happen each year without the invaluable support of its volunteers. Each year more
than 2,000 dedicated volunteers pitch in to pull off one of the world’s most spectacular festivals and
parades. Many of them hail from the UK – a mix of backpackers and those who are on the annual working
holiday pilgrimage down under. They perform a huge array of tasks from float building to general admin
support.
From its roots as a political demonstration, the parade has evolved to mean a thousand different things
to millions of people the world over. It’s a powerful civil rights protest while being the biggest game of
dress-up you’ve ever seen.
It’s an extraordinary outlet for artistic expression
as well as the opportunity to link with a
community you may not have known existed
twelve months earlier.
The Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras remains a
potent symbol of resilience and determination.
By bringing together the gay, lesbian,
transgender, bisexual and queer communities, it
demonstrates that there is unity and strength in
diversity.
