Ben/Miss Ellaneous (Queen of the NT)

The Northern Territory is packed with one-of-a-kind events, and no one knows them better than Ben Graetz — aka Miss Ellaneous. From dazzling crowds at FabAlice and Darwin Festival to founding Garrmalang, Ben is a driving force and not one to shy away from why he loves the NT.

A town like Alice

There’s no better backdrop for a desert drag festival than Alice Springs. Nestled beneath the MacDonnell Ranges and steeped in outback charm, there’s truly nowhere else like it. When it comes to things to do in Alice Springs, the options are as varied and vibrant as the town itself — from wandering through local art galleries and hiking ancient desert trails, to swimming in secluded waterholes and connecting with the region’s rich Aboriginal culture. Whether you’re watching the ranges glow gold at sunset or dancing in the streets during FabAlice Festival, Alice Springs offers a one-of-a-kind mix of natural beauty, community spirit, and creative energy.
