dog day afternoon

Powerhouse Park at New Farm, set on the river next to Brisbane Powerhouse, was a perfect venue for Pride's inaugural event Dog Day Afternoon - A Queer Family Picnic. It was the first time that the Brisbane Pride Collective had held this event on such a large scale - and we were amazed to see it was so well supported. Here are a few photos of the day, captured by the keen Pride photographer, Mark Seto, for you all to enjoy.
