Sydney - Gay Mardi Gras Info
 

The Beautiful Boys and Girls from Downunder !!

Sydney in February: it's summer Down Under, the sun glistens on the world's most beautiful harbour, the rolling surf of the Pacific borders golden beaches just a stone's throw from the city centre, the boys and girls pack the bars and cafes of Newtown and Darlinghurst and dance the night away.

And then there's Mardi Gras! Sunset on Saturday March 1st 2003 and a crowd of 600,000 lines the Golden Mile of Oxford Street cheering drag queens, dykes on bikes, leather bears, buff boys, gay parents with their kids, gay and lesbian school children and many more as, for this night of nights, we take over the city and celebrate the diversity of gay, lesbian transgender and bisexual life and culture... ...by 11pm you are on the dancefloor with 25,000 friends at the biggest gay and lesbian dance party in the world. Renowned for it spectacular shows, astonishing lighting and very friendly crowds. A Party with something for everyone.

But the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is much, much more: before the Parade and Party there is a Festival of arts and community events with artists and performers from around the world. Events range from theatre to dance, visual arts to music, from drag to drama and comedy to politics and all in one of the most beautiful cities on earth. SYDNEY. And, when its all over, the rest of Australia awaits: The Great Barrier Reef, Ayers Rock, Kakadu, Tasmania, the desert, the tropics and the unspoilt wilderness. Not to mention the Beautiful Boys of the Land Downunder. See www.boymodelsaustralia.com for a tantalizing example.
