Retracing Stonnington's Queer Footprints audio tour launch with Queer-ways

Join Queer-ways hosts LUCIANO and George Keats as they guide you on a spoken journey to some of the locations of queer significance throughout the City of Stonnington, as part of a recorded audio tour that also features music from the Melbourne Rainbow Band.

During the audio tour, community voices such as cabaret diva Dolly Diamond, Angela Bailey from the Australian Queer Archives and John Hall from Thorne Harbour Health will also share moving stories of community, connection, celebration and loss from across the LGBTQIA+ community.

Retracing Queer Footprints will launch officially on Wednesday 21 January, with a live in-person tour presented by LUCIANO and George Keats.

The tour will begin at 10am in front of the Braille Library at 31-51 Commercial Road, South Yarra.

There will be a break mid-way during the tour with a stop at Chapel Off Chapel, where participants will be treated to a song performed by Dolly Diamond and enjoy free refreshments.

Attendees on the day are encouraged to bring a mobile device and headphones as the live tour will incorporate several recorded elements from community guest speakers.

The audio tour will remain available for streaming and listening for community members to do their own self-directed walking tours of the route at any time.
