Sydney flashback #1


The Sydney Cruiser was a small gay fortnightly magazine, which lasted (I think) for only a year or so from 1980. It contained scene pics, fiction, nightlife listings, personals and some (now) rather funny advertising.
It also provided a comprehensive list of beats. I might or might not have those scanned at a later date.
I should add that my copy was given to me by a mate, Tony. I hope he has some more to share.

Anyway, here’s the first in a series of excerpts.
Look at the intensity in those eyes, the boldness of that stance, the persuasiveness of that bulge.
Saddletramp’s address is now simply known as the Exchange Hotel, which houses Phoenix downstairs on weekends, a very popular and very sweaty dirty poofter stomp.
