On Saturday night the LGBTQIA+ community took to Oxford Street in Sydney for the annual Mardi Gras parade.

Locally, Dubbo was not left in the dust.

For the last two years I have organised Dubbo’s own community pride event, where LGBTQIA+ folks and allies were able to mingle and watch the parade on the big screen.

Thank you to everyone for attending, and a bigger and better pride celebration is the plan for 2025!
