Hi there, welcome to the first post on this site!
The Annual Sydney Goth Picnic started one fateful afternoon in 2011 after a discussion on The Australian Gothic Society Facebook group. Several underage goths in the group were lamenting how there were no more events in Eora (Sydney) that they could attend since the Under The Blue Moon festival was no longer running and clubs and gigs were inaccessible to them.
The idea then arose to have a picnic in September when the weather was better and we went from there. It was an unprecedented success! Almost 80 people came all decked out to the home of goth in Eora country; Newtown for the picnic. It was a great day where many new friendships were made and old friendships rekindled; people brought their pets and kids along and many stayed till way after dark.
Since then we have had a picnic every year except for 2020 due to Covid and the concern for the most vulnerable in our community (which we made up for this February). We cannot wait for our next picnic but in the meantime we are looking forward to our first ever buy/swap/sell this May!
Big love fellow goths. Stay safe and hope to see you all out there soon.
Annual Sydney Goth Picnic 
Dominant goth . Sir /madam, I’m new to Sydney and interested in attending events or volunteer duties as submissive to a dominant type gothic female or couple. Im37 and was interested in being used as a slave type position, non sexually and kept on a collar and lead at the boots if you know of anyone interested? I’m experienced with 4 years as service sub and enjoy being made use of . It’s an unusual request however was reaching out incase you may know someone interested. Thank u for your time

Chris, this event is explicitly family friendly and therefore your comment is not only completely inappropriate but also fetishises women and femme presenting people within our community and is therefore offensive.
Goth and BDSM are not the same thing, Goth is a music based subculture, it does not have a monopoly on black clothing or corsets or platform boots.
Additionally, I did not consent to being exposed to sexual language from a complete stranger. It’s creepy and gross and demonstrates that you have a lack of boundaries and therefore will never be welcome at any of our events.
