This contrast extends to Blanc de Blanc, a multicolour spectacular in the spirit … Read More ... “Blanc De Blanc – Brisbane Festival Review”
We were invited to attend and review this years Movie World Carnivale and once again we loved it! Some of the big hits were the aerial acrobatics and the street performers.

Last week we were invited to preview the new show Legends of the High country at The OutBack Spectacular. It was great, it was filled with lots of variety including a 1920’s mini circus, snow falling from the cieling and quad bike races involving the audience.

Last night we attended the Brisbane Powerhouse’s Opening night for Potted Potter. A hilarious Parody of all 7 Harry Potter Books.
7 books in 70 minutes is their slogan and it was loads of fun.

When we were given 2 tickets to the Lion King Opening night the battle began. As a family of 4 we had to decide who was going to go. The discussion went on for several weeks until an agreement between a 4 year old boy and a 7 year old girl was met. The 4 year old was granted the … Read More ... “The Lion King Australia Review”
