The week in photos: The GH, Cairns Tropical Mardi Gras, and Sydney immerses in queer literature

THINGS heated up in Melbourne with the GH’s new Disney-themed show, and it was literally a literary week in Sydney with Queer Stories at the Kings Cross library and the book launch of Anthony Venn-Brown’s A Life of Unlearning.

Cairns’ Tropical Mardi Gras drag show stole picture of the week, thanks to the look of shock from the performers on stage. The Star Observer is still wondering what on earth warranted the shock, especially with that pearl-clutching image.

The book launch of Anthony Venn-Brown's 'A Life of Unlearning' attracted a large crowd. It's positive to see that there is still keen interest in LGBTI literature. (PHOTO: Ann-Marie Calilhanna; Star Observer)
