Where can I find information about 'notorious' Sydney homosexuals?!!!! Looking for the period 1950-1960. Anyone got any ideas? |

Have you tried the National Archive of Australia web site? (just need to Google). I have a notorious relative in Sydney, although not a homosexual and I'm waiting for a digital copy from them of a police investigation in the 1940s. You can search their records by name. Hope you find something, Helen |

Hi Helen thanks for that. I haven't actually got a name though. Perhaps if I type in homosexual I might come up with something! |

Nice one Sherlock, I like it!! On a serious note, do you know anything? All I've got to go on is 'know to associate with notorious Sydney homosexuals' Would 'Kings Cross' be anywhere near Liverpool Street, Sydney? |

Lyndsey, Any 'open' homosexual, and in particular any protesting homosexual would have been 'notorious' in the 1950's and 60's !! I googled 'Homosexuals Sydney Australia 1950 - 1960', and quite a few sites came up. maggie |
