Celebrate the evolution of queer culture in Melbourne with a rich array of unseen and everyday photos of key moments, spanning from the 1970’s to 1990’s, for the LGBTQIA+ community from the lens of legendary photographer Rennie Ellis.
From early gay liberation marches and joyous party scenes at iconic venues to alternative Arts Balls and fashion scene, his photographs burst with creative energy and give us a vivid portrait of life as it was.

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.
