Sydney Daily Photo - 5th birthday

It's a beautiful day in Sydney - sunny, warm. I's rather be enjoying the autumn sun and swimming, but it's a work day for me!

Here's the debut photo for Sydney Daily Photo, posted on 19 April 2006.  Sydney had just celebrated the annual Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.

I'm progressively posting my favourites from the past 5 years on my Facebook page. You should be able to see them by clicking on this link.

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

Yes, well, I'm late, but it wasn't TOO long ago. An annual cultural festival, culminating in the fabulous parade through Sydney's gay heartland. Takes place around the first Saturday in March. Good time, as it's usually quite hot still, which is necessary considering the amount of bare flesh.

While there's lots of fun had by all, there's still plenty of room for protest, by drawing attention to ongoing injustices. I was there in support of my gay and lesbian friends, colleagues and the community, to take part in a Trade Union float protesting at the new workplace laws introduced by the Howard government.
