Feathers Women's Social Club is an incorporated association that strives to enrich the lives of lesbians, both couples and singles alike. Our membership represents women of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities and professions, and brings them together in a fun and relaxed environment which is also non-judgmental, as well as physically and emotionally safe. Feathers is also committed to supporting worthy causes and charities that are part of our diverse and wonderful community.
As well as our monthly dances, which are often themed for special occasions, we hold an annual Dog Show, bi-annual trivia nights and bowling competitions, Australia Day and Anzac Day celebrations, games nights and car rallies. There's also the "Girls Friday" group which gets together every month for lunch or a special excursion, and the Theatre Group whose members regularly attend local live theatre productions. Feathers is continually seeking to add new and exciting events to our calendar, and we welcome any suggestions from our members and friends in the gay community.

You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else; only you're unexplained as yet -- you've not got your niche in creation.
Radclyffe Hall (The Well of Loneliness, 1928)
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt, 'This Is My Story,' 1937
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying "Amen" to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to keep your soul alive. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody. ~Rita Mae Brown
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people. ~Martina Navratilova
If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~Robin Tyler, lesbian stand-up comedian
