There's no singular history, it is a constellation of voices and faces; political organisers sit alongside people whose lives became political almost accidentally, and personal recollection continually rubs against the larger machinery of law, religion, family and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaulkner’s contemporary portraits and participants’ own historical photographs run throughout, making this as much a visual archive as an oral one — intimate, local and unusually valuable Australian queer history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition \u0026amp; condition: UWA Publishing \/ UWAP, Crawley, Western Australia, 2016.
