On the 78ers Bus at the Mardi Gras Parade in Sydney, 2015

One of the original marchers who took on the police in 1978, Digby Duncan, photographer and archivist extraordinaire.

Heading for the bus, brave ones all, Di Otto, Digby and Sarah Gibson. Thousands lining the streets, looking up at the bus of oldies.

Politics live in the parade. Bodies, desires, anger, love, comradeship and also consumerism on full view. We ride into the night.

I am a guest, remembering our own early days in New York City.
