How the success of ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ changed the gay scene in Sydney (with Andrew Prior)

Gay Sydney in the 90s was a magical time according to today's guest, chef, youtuber and podcaster Andrew Prior, who lived very close to the city's main gay hub, Oxford Street, in the early 90s.  Our conversation focusses on this area, which Andred dubs the 'gay ghetto', at two periods of his life - the early 90s, when he was a teenager, living away from home for the first time, and the late 90s, when he was a little older (and, maybe perhaps wiser?).  We talk all about the impact the massive success of the drag film 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' had on Sydney's scene, hen parties, body image, and Andrew's lost space, The Midnight Shift.  Do you have any memories of Sydney's queer scene that you want to share?
