A great lineup. Chookahs to Kookaburra and the performers involved. Marina Prior & Peter Cousins "Tonight" (West Side Story) Brings back the memories.

Helen Dallimore on Peter Carroll & his daughter Tamsin starring in "The Republic of Myopia" as father and daughter. MotS - Oompa-pa from Oliver! PoS character - Belle, from Beauty and the Beast

Tell me about it! Mind you, I did randomly fly to Melbourne for a weekend recently...

No, I can't afford it. Shame, it looks like a great line-up.
