From pre-colonisation times to beachfront bathhouses and tiny offices where the battle against the AIDS crisis was fought, Darwin has a rich queer history.
Queer history is an important part of the social and political history of the Northern Territory and an important part of life’s fabric.
Australian gay history academic and activist Dr Dino Hodge arrived in Darwin in 1983, just before the closure of two now-legendary camp venues, Dix and Fannies.
Mr Hodge has since moved to Adelaide, but returns to Darwin to host walking tours that focus on the Northern Territory’s lesser known history.
