Drag queens in Western Australia's far north will be battling mosquitoes and humidity this weekend as they celebrate an outback version of Sydney's gay and lesbian Mardi Gras.

The party will be held at Broome's only nightclub, with members of the LGBT community travelling hundreds of kilometres from across the vast Kimberley to join the festivities.

Along with them is Kennii Kermit, who will be doing an 800-kilometre round trip from his home in Fitzroy Crossing to make his stage debut as drag queen Eliza Bythian.

"For those of us that can't travel over to Mardi Gras in Sydney, having something local is great," he said.

"I think it's going to be a massive event and I think it's going to be wild.

"Sydney will definitely be a lot bigger, it always is, but we're going to rock it and party harder than anyone in Sydney could."

Performing in drag in the Kimberley comes with its own particular set of challenges.

It is the middle of the wet season and the evenings are sweltering, something Mr Kermit says the revellers are prepared for.

"There's definitely be a lot more hairspray on the make-up to keep it from melting, that's for sure," he said.

Assembling his drag queen costume had also proven tricky in the small town of Fitzroy Crossing.

"There is not really anywhere to buy what I need," Mr Kermit said.

"It's been really hard to find a pair of high heels for a big foot like mine. I'm in a size 13 mens, which works out to be about a 14 or 15 in womens.

"So I put a request out on Facebook to see if anyone might have a pair laying around.

"I've unfortunately had to go online to order them. And I've had to ask around to find the perfect person to be able to wax my legs."

'It can be really tough in a country town'

While Saturday night will be dedicated to feather boas and fun, there is a serious side to the event.

Organiser Lucy Falcocchio said LGBT people can sometimes feel very isolated in regional communities.

Two years ago she established the Broome Pride group, which currently has more than 500 members.

"It can be really tough in a country town you know, especially for young people who are still working things out," she said.

"So we've tried to create a social network for people living in Broome, or anywhere in the Kimberley, so they can come together and have some fun and support each other."

There are regular sundowners at a bar overlooking the bay in Broome, and plans to expand the program of events to attract the so-called 'pink dollar' travelling market to the town.

Mr Kermit said the organisation had made a big difference during his two years living in the Kimberley.

"They are an amazing bunch of people, very welcoming and accepting, and I have to say, even though it's just a small town, they're more accepting than a lot of people in the big cities," he said.

"It's very important to have the support, because I can see that there are some young people struggling [in Fitzroy Crossing].

"There's still a lot of shame within the culture of the local people when it comes to being gay, or whatever you may, so there needs to be more awareness brought to regional areas."

So does Mr Kermit ever feel like the 'only gay in the village'?

"I was for a very long time," he laughed.

"But there are actually a couple of [gay] couples that are living and working here, and there are also a couple of singles working around town as well."
