This was the the culmination of years of work by many individuals to recognise the importance and value of records of the local gay movement, but was also just the beginning for what is today the Australian Queer Archives.

We have regretfully decided to cancel tomorrow's Footscray Queer History Walk. Tomorrow afternoon's weather forecast is for temperatures up to 35° and a UV index of 11. We do not believe we can provide a safe event under these conditions.
