This episode was about The Darlinghurst Wall, and Green Park
The Darlinghurst Wall, and by extension Green Park was an infamous pickup location or "beat" for the LGBT Community from the 50s till the 80s. The episode also explores the treatment of gay people during this time and the AIDs epidemic during the 80s.
