The Gay and Lesbian community is very active in the city. But the most famous event is the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. This is party central and the event has general popular appeal. Many non homosexual Sydneysiders stand along the parade route to enjoy the fun atmosphere.
There are any number of good swimming and surf beaches along the Sydney coast. If you are looking for clothing optional beaches there are even four of them north of Sydney. There are plenty of opportunities for people watching and improving your tan.
Food is a passion here and eating alongside the harbor or the beach is a wonderful way to pass a sunny lunch hour or a balmy evening. If you are invited to a hotel for a drink, just remember the Aussies often call their pubs “hotels”.
Oxford Street has been termed Sydney’s Pink strip and has a long established history. This is where the parade goes and where you will find shops, clubs and bars for the gay community.
Gay travel to Sydney Australia is a rewarding experience. The seasons are the opposite of those in the Northern hemisphere so if you are in need of some sun and fun, in a gay friendly environment, Sydney is a prime destination.
