Squirt.org (definitely not safe for work) have compiled lists of gay beats from all over the world. In the interests of helping RA’s own gay community, while giving the rest of us a better idea where to avoid, here’s their list (can’t link to the search but here’s a pdf) of Canberra venues for gay cruising:
First of all the toilets:
Grace Bros. Level 2 [ED – In ANY of the Myer stores?]
Charnwood Public Toilets
University of Canberra [ED – the whole uni?]
Black Mountain Lookout Toilets
Hughes Shops Public Toilet
Toilets behind Kippax Fair
Dickson Shops Public Toilet
Chifley Library – ANU
Copland Building – ANU
Woden Interchange
Mawson Shops
Kambah Village Shopping Centre
Maryborough St Fyshwick
Then there’s the gyms:
Oasis Leisure Centre Pool
Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre (CISAC)
Deakin Health Spa
Belconnen Community Centre
Only two parks are favoured:
Black Mountain Peninsula
Fyshwick Wetlands
And of Canberra’s very limited beach areas it seems Kambah Pool is favoured.
So now you know.

You’re aware that the term “Rock Spider” is for people with a sexual attraction to children ? I’m pretty sure being gay isn’t the same thing as being a Pedo…
johnboy – you didnt know what you started did you?
I work in St Kilda (Melbourne) now & frankly see & run into the working girls, and boys, and trannies, regularly. They are commercial and mostly legal. Seeing boys meeting in a Public Toilet hardly seems news. And the reason these places are mostly off the track (the beaten path indeed) and patronised at odd hours is precisely so it doesnt interfere or offend the wider population.
Canberra used to be more broad-minded
