Dancing in streets at Gay Mardi Gras

A male Camilla Parker Bowles impersonator and several transvestite nuns were among some of the thousands of people who paraded through Sydney’s streets today for the city’s annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival.

Tens of thousands of spectators crammed Sydney’s Oxford street, the centre of the city’s gay scene, to catch a glimpse of the festival’s 130 floats.
