So, we went here for Friday lunch.
Super-friendly, super cheap and cheerful. Definitely worth supporting this place, trying out everything on the menu.
They also have a library of zines and books (including lots of those cool Women’s Press books with the zebra spines).
There’s a call-out for zines about LGBT/feminist themes, and I think I will do one over the Xmas break on growing up in the intensely racist, sexist and homophobic Australia of the 1970s and 1980s, and how it shaped me.
Initial thoughts below –
