What began, part time, as a desire to share the joys of music and dance through theatre in education performances led to Gary and Carol specializing in early childhood music, movement & dance in-service workshops. They produce multicultural & original resources for early childhood teachers, carers and parents. Theatre in education performances for young children & family dances are still part of their work and a great pleasure for them. Gary and Carol feel strongly that music, movement and the creative arts assist in promoting a richness and joy in life that adds to individual wellbeing and family and community health. Their enthusiasm for early childhood education involves them in teacher training for early childhood professionals within Australia and internationally each year. An ongoing interest in health and wellbeing has meant that Yoga and alternative health has also been an ongoing interest and source of study for many years and is now reflected in workshops for adults as well as children in wellness and relaxation issues.    They will be performing on the Best & Less Stage (Up the Back) at the following times:   ·               10:00am-10:30am ·               11:15am-11:45am ·               1:15pm-1:45pm   Billy James- Magic Fun Show Come along & see Billy James's Magic Fun Show.

Farm animals are an important part of our lives today and have played an important role in Australia's history but unfortunately in our fast paced world of technology and urbanisation this can be easily overlooked. Maintaining contact with farm animals gives our children a greater understanding of the world around us and a better appreciation of the wonders of nature and how as mankind we fit within. We carry our country roots into our business attitude by always working extremely hard at providing an honest service of the highest quality. "- Bryce Chapman founder Kindifarm Please see website: www.kindifarm.com     Reptiles Galore Reptiles Galore Showing on the 2GO Front Stage At 12:00pm -12:30pm & at 1:45pm-2:15pm   Our Fun & Educational show usually runs for 1 hour; however, this can be varied to suit your needs.  Reptiles Galore have no set talks - we vary our presentations to suit the age and understanding of the group. If the children are learning anything in particular and you would like us to concentrate on that, let us know. It is a very hands-on show with no cages. Every animal presented can be touched or held by the children (and adults if they are brave). We all know that children can sometimes have limited attention spans so we try to present the show as fun and informal as possible. We keep the children’s attention by bringing a large number of animals, each one different and more exciting than the one before. The Reptiles Galore Cast include: - Frogs, Turtles, Blue Tongue Lizards, Shingleback Lizard, Bearded Dragon, Children’s Python, Diamond or Carpet Python, Olive Python/Black Headed Python and the star of the show our little Salt Water Crocodile.
