An iconic space for queer and marginalised communities, known for Sad Dyke Sundays to the legendary caravan in the courtyard, it created something rare: a special place where people could be seen, adored, and celebrated.

After closing its doors in November 2025, its impact still echoes through the community.

In this story, I speak with owner Joy Ng, patrons reflecting on their time there, Mai from Worship Queer Collective and the Red Rattler, and Katherine Wolfgramme, transgender advocate and trainer.

This is a story about Sydney’s queer community and the importance of nurturing and sustaining safe spaces.

Recorded and produced on the lands of the Gadigal and Wangal peoples.
