Southern Comfort
Hume Phoenix is a social support group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTIQ) people and their family and friends, living in the Albury-Wodonga region. The group is described as an open community and regularly organises events to connect local people and provide a safe space, especially for those new to the LGBTIQ community.
On Saturday, October 27, Hume Phoenix will host the Beautiful Nightmare Halloween party from 8pm at One Nightclub (Level 1, Bended Elbow, 480 Dean St, Albury). If past experiences are anything to go by this will be a great night out, and everyone is welcome.
If hiking is more appealing for you, then the hike at Mount Feathertop is bound to please. It will happen on Saturday, November 17. Remember to take your own water and don’t forget the sunscreen. For all the details on activities put on by Hume Phoenix check out the website humephoenix.com.au
