COAST OUT GETTING CLOSE It's the Coffs region's premiere LGBT festival and it's so close that you can taste it! Coast Out will take over the town this month from 28-30 October and is a queer beach festival that is one of a kind in Australia. There will be events held in the sand, on the sea, and in the air, with a host of big name guests making appearances at many of the events, including Melissa Tkautz, Jackie Loeb and Carlotta. For the first time ever there’ll be a conference held in conjunction with SCU Coffs Harbour before the chance to get down and party at the Fair Day and Tea Dance. Who knows, you might even find a big banana in Coffs! For more info visit www.coastout.com.au.
