Bring Priscilla back to fabulous!
Priscilla is an icon from one of Australia's most celebrated and successful films, The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert which went on to become internationally renowned and a symbol of freedom, love and support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
After filming had ended, the whereabouts of Priscilla was unknown. Priscilla had been left to the elements for 16 years and was exposed to bushfires in late 2019/early 2020. Miraculously Priscilla avoided extensive fire damage. She was meant to survive.
The 1974 Hino Freighter bus was discovered in a dilapidated state on a rural property in the New South Wales Northern Rivers region.
The History Trust of South Australia, with the support of the South Australian Government as well as the film's director, Stephan Elliott, will restore Priscilla to her former glory. Priscilla will be the centrepiece of an immersive exhibition and interactive experience at the National Motor Museum, Birdwood.
