"The year I turned eight, Mum and Dad took us on a trip around Australia. Luke, Billy and I missed school for the whole winter term."
Join eight year old Grace and her family on their adventurous and often funny expedition around Australia!
Following CDP’s successful national tour of Magic Beach, Alison Lester AM’s classic book comes to life on stage, with songs, fun, (and quokkas!) for children aged 3-10 and their adults.
From the team behind The Gruffalo and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78-and 91-Storey Treehouses, this new adaptation from multi-award winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer is a celebration of family, love, and the diversity and beauty of Australia.
Bring your favourite Alison Lester book or buy one at the venue, as Alison will be making an appearance after the 10.30am and 12.30pm performances on Wednesday 25 January.
