Australia's Living History
John and Mary Jewell have been on tour with their attraction since 2000. They have travelled and performed in every main land state and to date have entertained the public at over 300 shows and events. Australia's Living History has won awards in NSW, Qld and the NT from Major Regional and Royal Shows. The attraction also has a proven record of being re-booked.
One of the key factors to the success of their attraction is it operates all through the day; it's continuous with scheduled demonstration times. This means no matter what time or how many people are around they will be entertained.
Australia's Living History is an attraction for the whole family, every one finds something that thrills them be it the extensive museum of interesting artefacts, the wonderful award winning display and or the many entertaining and interesting demonstrations.
They travel with their dogs, Dot, Sam and Bert; they work the chooks in the background of their display. The chooks also travel with them.Mix all of that with great stories, yarns and entertaining trivia about our history and you have a successful attraction to help make your Show a great Event.
John and Mary travel the Country in a five tonne truck (it carries the extensive display) and a large caravan they call home for ten months of the year.
Please go to their website for further information. | |

Brian Harrington's Family Show I've had bookings all over the world with my unique acts attracting the biggest crowds at the biggest events. Named the Family Show, I can draw huge crowds to gather with interest from parents and grandparents all the way down to toddlers & children. When my Family Show hits town i am always welcomed with a huge amount of media attention, everything from paper, radio and TV coverage! Extra promotion like walking some ducks fully costumed through the main streets of your town or city excites and engages onlookers to want more, even before your event begins all at no cost to you! I even attend primary schools and retirement homes to make sure everyone is aware that my Family Show is here!... | |

But that's alright mama, because the Memphis Moovers have hit town - dressed in bright 50's style suits with large 50's ducktail hair, pushing a traditional style Jukebox. The Memphis Mooves have been doing their "thing" since 1997 and have gathered themselves a great reputation amongst festivals and events throughout Queensland and beyond. These guys are a wealth of talent, performing all the great songs from the 50's to the 80's. They can rove as a duo or trio through to a 4-5 piece roving band, we rove with our cute novelty cars and can also perform on stage as a 4-5 piece live band. Moovin' Balloonin' - a zany character on foot or in a novelty car balloon modelling. Great for kids and adults alike | |

THE LUMBERJACK SHOW Nothing else like it! This international act is a highly action packed, humurous and interacive entertainment show that caters for all demographics. A tale of two lumberjacks who battle it out to work out who is the best out there in the bush. Using the skills of tree climbing, log rolling, carving with chainsaws, it is combined with humour and antics that will leave you in stitches. An aerial stunt act is spliced into mix that will ring out laughter, cheers and make the skin crawl. This family fun entertainment show has been operating for 10 years between Canada, NZ and now of course Australia. Its flexibility allows it to be well suited for main arena and side entertainment. There are also variations of the show to cater for not only the larger budgets but the smaller ones too....no one should miss out on the giggles! | |
