Using Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as a starting point, queries Sydney’s reputation for openness and tolerance towards social diversity and alternative lifestyle choices. Features interviews with members of an Aboriginal dance group, new migrants from the Cook Islands and people form gay and lesbian communities, and considers the social interactions between the disparate groups that go make up Sydney’s distinctive cultural life.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
