Australia's Living History

Australia's Living History takes you back to these times with live demonstrations, stories and displays of the little known or forgotten parts of our past.  Australia's Living History is a performance-based attraction that is both entertaining and educational and it appeals to young and old alike.

We have a unique, entertaining and light hearted approach about our early history. With live demonstrations showing important facets of how we lived from the 1800’s to Federation. The colourful and interesting display in itself is an attraction, live demonstrations and our wonderful working dogs and ducks as a backdrop is a great crowd pleaser. The kids love us, their parents remember and our seniors reminisce.

MANOEUVRE

Manoeuvre is an elite stilt performance company provIding roving stilt acts to festivals, nightclubs and corporate events throughout Australia and overseas.

Much more than simply "walkers", these Stilt Performers; whilst strutting, looping and dancing through the crowd, stimulate the imagination, inspire joy and offer an engaging, playful and interactive experience for audiences of various sizes.

Manoeuvres characters are available separately or in combination.
While they most frequently appear as a duo, they are also available as solo characters, and selected acts, as groups of 3, 4 or 5.

Go to Roving Acts to see the full range of Manoeuvre characters www.manoeuvreacts.com

Once you are familiar with Manoeuvre's work and you feel that your audience has already had the Manoeuvre experience, think again, as new characters and costumes are always in the pipeline.

Stage Shows

While Manoeuvre performances are not stage shows per se, Manoeuvre are able to effectively hold an audience in an informal or semi-formal setting.

 

For example, Jack and Jack have performed a 20 minute set in front of a grandstand at the races in Mombai, India; and Blax have performed a 5 minute set for a seated audience at an Audi launch in Seoul, Korea.

Manoeuvre characters can also be combined with other performers within a larger performance context. For example Blax have performed as part of a stage show at The Family NIghtclub - Brisbanes premier nightclub.

Melville's Petting Farm/Pavilion has been voted as one of the best presented animal farms in Australia.  The Animal Farm, being one of the most visited sites on any showgrounds, is an integral part of the entertainment with patrons returning two or three times throughout the day.  Our presentation is paramount and we take pride in our animals, display and staff.

We are a family business and have been operating for the past 22 years, specialising in shows, corporate events, functions, movie productions and television commercials/documentaries.

Our Mobile Animal Petting Farm includes cute and cuddly babies through to exotic feature animals such as llama, alpaca, camel, water buffalo and Middle Eastern Fat Tailed Sheep, as well as some very special feature animals such as albino calf, Texas long and many more.

Melville's can provide a complete animal pavilion for your large metropolitan show or our custom built marquee can be used for smaller regional shows who do not have a purpose built animal pavilion.

We also have available Cobb & Co stage coaches and carriages, blacksmithing and sheep shearing demonstrations, whip cracking displays and Australiana themeing.

Memphis Moovers

They will shake, rattle and roll you! Flip, flop and fly you! You'll move baby move! 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
