Lesbian and gay archive emerges for anniversary

by Dewi Cooke

August 23, 2008

THEIRS is a quiet life filled with friends, hobbies and a cat named Jessie.

 

But a "bond of steel" has welded Mac Ronan and Geoff Allingham to each other for the past 60 years and, even though he shudders at the cliche, it is the best way 82-year-old Mac can think to describe his lifelong relationship with Geoff, 81.

 

It is a bond that emerged almost as soon as they met, outside Melbourne's Princess Theatre in 1948, but was properly forged in 1953 when they were two young lovers on a year-long global adventure.
