Newtown is a suburb about 4km southwest of Sydney's central business district (CBD), born at the beginning of the 19th century as a residential and agricultural area, (previously inhabited by Australia's original landlords, the Aboriginal community), it went from being a low-income working-class suburb, often denigrated in the mid-20th century to an increasingly young neighborhood thanks to the proximity of the Sydney University and the low rents that transformed the area, gaining a reputation as a bohemian center, where even the LGBT community has increased over time.
