In years past, it took a passport, a 20-hour flight and a big chunk of change to enjoy Sydney Mardi Gras. Now all you need is a decent Internet connection. MardiGrasTV.org.au, which went live yesterday, offers hours of content from this year’s celebration, including the legendary Sydney Mardi Gras Parade on March 4.
Produced by Australian mobile-phone company Optus, the site is offering footage from Fair Day and Harbour Party, as well as behind-the-scenes shots and a one-hour video of parade highlights, which can be seen from 7.30pm on Sunday.
That’s 3:30am EST on Sunday morning, so you better get your beauty sleep!
