You'll learn about the city's rich and varied queer histories and hear the stories of prominent queer citizens of the city, as well as important parts of the cultural scene, including the internationally renowned Mardi Gras parade.

Given the often hidden nature of queer history, this tour will provide a picture of what we know about indigenous Australia's view on diverse sexual orientation and gender, as well as the circumstances and stories of our queer forebears during the colonial period and into the early 20th century.

We will then bring into focus the period of social upheaval reforms that burst into the mainstream from the 1970's onwards, including the significance of the first Mardi Gras in 1978 and the following decades of protest, partying, and dealing with the HIV epidemic.

Archibald Memorial Fountain

You’ll see hidden histories from colonial times into the 1970sWe’ll start at the Archibald fountain, a location which symbolises the hidden queer histories of the city. We’ll cast our minds back to what we know about Indigenous Australia’s attitude to queerness, prior to the arrival of British colonisation. We’ll then look at how colonial Australia from 1788 treated LGBT people, and how despite the often hostile environment, queer people lived and loved.

How pleased I am to have chosen this tour. Sydney has long been regarded as extremely Rainbow Friendly but the reality is not so rosy with violent reactions and laws endangering people who are just asking for acceptance and equality. Some paid with their lives. Michael has a wealth of knowledge and loves answering questions.

We would highly recommend the Queer walking tour with Michael. We traveled from Ireland on holiday and didn't know much about Australian Queer history. The tour gave us a great insight and well rounded look at the history and modern day LGBTQ activism. It's a great way to see Sydney through a queer lens and get a real feel for the city.

Michael's melodic and informative presentation style brings to life complex history of Queer Sydney. The tour highlights such a depth that you have the experience of walking through a history. It was fascinating to see places with new details and it enriched my experience of Sydney.
