Sydney: Decadence defined
Dramatic drag queens and droll drag kings. Bears (the hairy-male type), bogans and Bananas in Pyjamas. Grooving and gyrating mer-drags, macho muscle Mary's and minx-y mistresses. Sinewy prancers, dancers, hula-hoopers and hedonists in harnesses. With such decadence and debauchery, it could only be Sydney' spectacular Mardi Gras - the annual glittering gem of a pride event that showcases the diversity of Sydney's LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) communities.

In a suburban Sydney backyard, two Indigenous Ngangkari -- or healers -- are thousands of kilometres from home. But they treat their patients here like they would in the desert.
