Darlinghurst

Sydney's queer bookshop, trading on Oxford Street since 1982. Founders Les McDonald and Wayne Harrison built it into the most comprehensive LGBTIQ+ source in the country; Charles Gregory, who worked the floor as a student, took it over in 2024 and kept the brief intact. The range runs deep — gay and lesbian fiction, trans and nonbinary memoir, queer history, erotica, magazines and zines — while staff picks and author dinners keep it a working part of the Taylor Square strip rather than a relic.
