Midsumma gets sun smart
Melbourne’s largest gay and lesbian arts festival Midsumma will slip, slop and slap its way through summer.
The organisation has partnered with skin cancer prevention group SunSmart to spread the word among punters to stay safe from the sun’s rays while enjoying the festival. SunSmart manager Sue Heward said, before heading out, festivalgoers should check the daily UV levels in the newspaper or on the SunSmart website or iPhone app.

Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.






Yes, stay safe from sun rays is really very important. Sun rays are very harmful to the health and sometimes it causes skin cancer too. So take care of your health.
