Et af det mest iøjnefaldende forsøg var The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert fra 1994, hvor tre dragqueens drager af sted fra Sydney til ørkenoasen Alice Springs midt inde på det australske kontinent.

Kunsten er at komme fra Sidney til Alice Springs i en gammel bus uden at få alt for mange ridser i lakken - helt bogstaveligt...
