The Big Tent


The circus was in town! Yey! I must admit, I do still giggle with excitement with the idea of going to the circus. I love the animal acts, the tricks and the clowns. Lennon Brothers Circus is the oldest circus in Australia. As the Ringmaster proudly exclaimed, they have a history of over 140 years travelling in Australia as traditional circus company. There was no fancy techno lights or carefully orchestrated music, no fancy story lines and elaborate props. Just good ol’, down to earth, solid performance by one of the best circus actors in the country.

This was the first circus acts we brought the kids to. Both the twins have very short attention span and I’m impressed that they sat throughout the ENTIRE show without whining or fidgeting! It was a record! I’m quite sure they enjoyed it immensely by clapping in encouragement, laughing at the animals and gasping at the trapeze act. It was indeed a night to remember!
