Oxford Street

This guide to Oxford Street in Sydney turns on the night of June 24, 1978, when a solemn march marking the Stonewall riots turned into a street party, and police who had granted permission suddenly withdrew it. You'll hear about the truck, the sound system, and a crowd of about two thousand who refused to disperse when officers moved in. It follows what came next for the fifty-three people arrested that night, once a Sydney newspaper printed their names.
