Newtown, telephone boxes

These telephone boxes are located near the corner of Brown Street and King Street, in the inner city suburb of Newtown. These Telstra pay phones have been decorated with the colours of the rainbow flag or pride flag to celebrate the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras which held its parade in the city last Saturday night. The third telephone box is a specially installed "Disco InFono" which features a mirror ball, smoke machine, laser lights and plays the disco music anthem: Disco Inferno.

  4. I like the colors and what they stand for, and I know this will sound stupid, but what exactly is a telephone box?
