Dr Gertrude Glossip returns to take us on a coastal cruise through Rainbow History. The seaside suburbs are awash with history, and Gertrude is casting her Rainbow lens on Glenelg and Port Adelaide. These everchanging suburbs held key roles in the colonisation of South Australia, and their growth into booming modern suburbs shaped the establishment of Adelaide as we know it today.
Beneath the suburban chic exteriors, the Gay Bay and the Port are loaded with queer stories. From the ever-evolving impact of Rainbow businesses and festivals to secret rendezvous with sailors, the seaside suburbs hold a bounty of Rainbow history to uncover, and the Queen of the Walk has risen to the task.
Gert by Sea is a mini history book of two walks plus a bonus beachside whistle-stop tour, which extends upon the success of Queen of the Walk: Gertrude’s Guide to Gay Adelaide History. The Rainbow History Walks delve into the undercurrents of queer history that exist along the Adelaide coastline. Join Dr Glossip as she regales us with the highlights of her Gert by Sea history walks.
