Any of you guys coming, including non Aussies?

I'm looking forward to it as this is my 1st time.

I haven't been to it in years. its always the same and boring as sin...

Why is every Aussie so discouraging at the thought of the Sydney Mardi Gras? I always get feedback like "It was better in the '90s" or "Go to Thailand instead!"

Never been and probably never will. Rather chillax on the beach with a slab and some friends.

I would only go for Kylie,otherwise,no.

Oh hellz yah!!!

I might head to a few of events...but am not all that excited about the parade/party.

That said, it is my personal goal to join the marching boys next year (after round two of chest surgery has healed + lots more pec flys completed) - to celebrate the end of the surgical bit of my transition...any excuse to wear short shorts really..

I am looking forward to the mardi gras film festival though and Trough faggot party which is on a few days before the parade/party and should be good fun.

I'm going! Bringing my american bf with me; it's 5 years since we met - on the dance floor, RHI, at Mardi Gras '04.

Can't wait...trying to decide on outfits already

I'll be at the authentic MG in New Orleans

I went last year, and found it to be a major disappointment. I had seen videos and read how wonderful it was. Obviously these media releases were just that - tourism generators. New York and Toronto Pride is about 1000 x nicer, better planned - more organized.

I suggest going to AUS at another time when SYD is not so out of control.

OMGOMGOMG,I just found out Matthew Mitcham is going to be Chief of Parade this year and lead the whole thing!!! Now I HAVE TO GO!!

I make the pilgrimage to Sydney for Mardi Gras every year. It has had its up and downs, but I always enjoy it.

I have never been any similar event anywhere else in the world and so have nothing to compare it to.

I will be going to the Toybox party instead of the after party this year as I’m over the big parties… for the time being.
