Miriam Margolyes heads into the Australian outback and the mining town of Broken Hill, where people are reinventing themselves and carving their own paths - against all odds.

Miriam arrives in Broken Hill, heading into the outback town to learn how people creatively reinvent themselves in a place built on legends and traditions. As she drives into town, the famous mines are everywhere. They brought tens of thousands to the outback and built the place - but the mines are dwindling, and so is the population. It's a town ripe for reinvention and full of surprises.

Miriam checks into the iconic Palace Hotel, where The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was filmed, learns about the local community and its mining trade, joins a walking drag tour, and takes a trip to a camel farm.
