Have you heard about the Pink Elephant Café? 💗

🌈 As Melt Festival comes to a close, Brian from our team takes us to Queen Street, near the water’s edge, to uncover the story of the Pink Elephant Café.

Established in 1946, the café became a meeting place for Brisbane’s artists, musicians, journalists and LGBTQ+ community, offering a rare safe space for conversation and connection.
