Kenneth (Ken) Garrahy (1933-2021) was an avid home-movie enthusiast, documenting his social life in Sydney and his holidays overseas during the 1960s and 1970s.

The Tiffany Group was formed to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind Association of NSW, holding dog shows, drag shows, balls, and other events. Initially these events supported wider community groups, but in later years provided increasing support to the LGBTIQ+ community (or gay and lesbian community as it was termed in the 1980s), in particular HIV/AIDS support. In this clip we see a Tiffany Dog Show from 1968, held in a suburban park, it included a number of events, but was mostly an opportunity for socialising.
