Gay Destinations: Australia

By Howie Holben


Gay vacations to Australia are a ton of fun. Australia itself is an awesome vacation destination. It is a once in a life time opportunity. It is something you will never forget. But if you are part of the LGBT community, then a trip down under can open up whole new worlds for you. You will not believe the crazy amount of fun you will have on a vacation like this!

There are so many things to do in Australia. For instance, did you know they have their own Mardi Gras celebration? Don your most fabulous apparel for this annual celebration and you will never look back. It takes place every February in Sydney. In fact, its full title is the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras! Could you possibly ask for more?

One thing that you should not miss whenever you are down under are the Birdsville Races. These are not just your average ascot races, these are actually races that involve a lot of drinking, betting and of course some fabulous clothing. You want to make sure that you wear your best and dress yourself to the nines here, because who knows who you will meet!

Another amazing event is the oh so fun Hobart Yacht Race. This also takes place in Sydney and it is always great for a whole lot of fun. A tried and true Boxing Day celebration, there is nothing better than spending the day near the water, watching all the vibrant sails as the boats race. Picnics are a must. There is always plenty of food, so do not worry about a New Year hangover!

Music lovers have to take their vacation during the BDO, or Big Day Out. A huge music festival that takes place during the Australian summer, this event is in the spirit of traveling road shows, and it is huge. Your favorite bands, such as Placebo (be still our beating hearts), Coldplay, and PJ Harvey just to name a few, are just some of the big names drawn to Big Day Out.

And film lovers cannot pass up on the Tropfest Film Festival. A festival of short films, it takes place over one night in February, right in Sydney. Up and coming filmmakers get to showcase their work, and film lovers get first shot at seeing what could be the next big thing.

Finally, if you are just looking to relax and chill out with your partner, Australia is certainly the best place for you to do that. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking and totally beautiful and if you are looking for swimming, hiking, sailing or even just exploring and eating, Australia is the place to do it in. There are a ton of bars and certainly a heck of a lot of restaurants as well as a lot of nature things for you to look at.

Gay travel to Australia give you a chance to be yourself while you enjoy yourself. You can really revel in your solidarity with your mates. Be proud, have a fantastic time, and make the kinds of memories that will last a lifetime in Australia!
