Currently, over 80% of this article is dedicated to its status as a gay cruising icon. Interesting as this aspect is, surely there's more to the "finest public fountain in Australia" than this? Anyway, I've added some photos. The bottom one is a little dark, but it should do for now :) - Gobeirne 20:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Edits by Nomadtales have improved the balance :) - Gobeirne 18:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there is still far too much infomation regarding the fountain as a gay icon. Surely most of this material could be put into a seperate article about the gay scene in Sydney. The only problem is I don't think there is such an article at present. Nomadtales 21:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gay icon?? how reliable is that sources? And what is it doing in this article?? --Sumple (Talk) 13:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No idea who inserted the gay material. I've always assumed it was referring to the 1960s or 70s. Yes, there is way too much of it. --Gene_poole 03:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been bold and summarised it. --Sumple (Talk) 01:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
