Just watched a BigIdeas episode on the ABC about the history of Crossdressing in Australia.

A bit of interesting information and Sydneysiders get more than a fair share of airtime as most of the happenings are in that little town.

hi Anthea
Thank you very much for putting this in the forum I’ve just watched the programme and found it fascinating. I think it shows that Australians are at the forefront of cross-dressing in the modern world.
