Title:
Guy Pearce wearing The Wattle Dress
The Wattle Dress is only on screen in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert for a few seconds, but it iconically represents Australian flora.
In this scene Felicia Jollygoodfellow (Guy Pearce) glides smoothly down a high-heel shaped slide, but in reality the 'ride' proved painful and bloody for the bare-cheeked actor.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
