Karangahape Road
Karangahape Road, Auckland 1010
Vibrant inner-city strip of nightlife, queer history and street art along a historic ridge road.
This guide to Karangahape Road in Auckland opens on a March night in twenty twenty-four, when someone painted the street's rainbow crossing a flat white under cover of darkness. It reaches back to nineteen seventy-two and the KG, remembered as Auckland's first lesbian nightclub, then to Chaplins sixteen years later and the support group that offered free HIV testing through the nineteen eighties. Listen for how the crossing itself came to be laid down in twenty twenty-one.
