Thank you for listening to Sydney Untold!

This episode was about The Darlinghurst Wall, and Green Park

The Darlinghurst Wall, and by extension Green Park was an infamous pickup location or "beat" for the LGBT Community from the 50s till the 80s. The episode also explores the treatment of gay people during this time and the AIDs epidemic during the 80s.

This episode contains themes of assault and physical abuse which might be distressing to some listeners. If you require assistance please contact organisations like Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Triple 0 if you require emergency attention.
