In the final Untold Australia documentary tonight, Bowled Over takes us to Ipswich.
Producers Flickchicks capture a year in the lives of three fabulous drag queens as they confront major personal challenges.
Nine years ago, an eclectic troupe of drag queens rescued North Ipswich Bowls Club from financial ruin, thanks largely to the spectacular success of the monthly drag show – Taboo. This charming, inspiring story centres on three drag queens – Crystal Heart, wanda dparke, and 12-year-old Candy
Featherbottom – who are now having to save themselves, their careers and their dreams.
8:30pm tonight on SBS.

Lovely doco. Thanks for the heads up on this one David.
This was a great doco. I laughed and cried, but felt uplifted and proud just watching it. I live in a country town 30 minutes from Ipswich, yet I never knew there was such diversity so close to home. I’ll definitely be going to the next show night at the North Ipswich Bowls Club.
On first glance at the headline picture, I thought the middle queen was a young Corey Feldman.
