Established in 1988, Tropical Fruits Inc. is the premier GLBTI social group in the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales, Australia, the largest queer community centre outside out Australia’s eight well-known capital cities.

 

 

As part of the radical, lesbian, feminist movement in Australia Erif has been an influential and outspoken campaigner for lesbian and gay rights and through Tropical Fruits was instrumental in creating a safe community space and events for the LGBTIQ community.
