"Thirty years ago, a humble silver bus was transformed into a cinematic icon
when the low-budget Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the
Desert
 became a heart-warming, Oscar-winning smash hit.

But for years, no one has known where the bus used in Stephan Elliott’s film
went. Not long after the 38-day shoot finished in 1993, it seemingly vanished
without a trace. This did not stop countless Australians from claiming they
either owned it or knew who owned it, or that they had spotted it somewhere up
and down the country.

The story of where she ended up, and how she was found, is worthy of a film in
itself."
