Darwin's gay scene: Take a tour through NT's gay history with activist and academic Dr Dino Hodge
From pre-colonisation times to beachfront bathhouses and tiny offices where the battle against the AIDS crisis was fought, Darwin has a rich queer history.
Queer history is an important part of the social and political history of the Northern Territory and an important part of life's fabric.
Australian gay history academic and activist Dr Dino Hodge arrived in Darwin in , just before the closure of two now-legendary camp venues, Dix and Fannies.
Mr Hodge has since moved to Adelaide, but returns to Darwin to host walking tours that focus on the Northern Territory's lesser famous history.

This is an excellent B&B resort where you can be completely relaxed and natural. The hosts are so welcoming and kind. You feel like family. It's about one hour from the airport so you’ll need to rent a car. The hosts can arrange a taxi for $ (a bargain). You can BYO meal or be spoiled by Damian’s cooking. In any case, breakfast is included (continental Mon-Fri and packed on the weekend). If you like to be natural this is the place for you. I got away from frosty, wet Sydney to pretty clear blue skies, parched and 35 degrees. Shane and Damian will construct you feel welcome. The more expensive room is much larger but both are very comfortable. Excellent Wi-Fi and phone
