Since colonisation in 1788 and being so far from the rest of the known world Australians had to become innovative and resourceful especially in this land of extremes. Australia's Living History, a major show attraction at this years Show takes you back to these times with live demonstrations, stories and displays of the little known or forgotten parts of our past.

"The show will pay tribute to the pioneers (men & women) that made Australia and the Outback what it is today" said John Jewell the attractions owner. Our 2007 tour will make our history come alive and our performance will be based around that theme We have a unique, entertaining and lighthearted approach about our early history. With live demonstrations showing important facets of how we lived from the 1800's to Federation.

Australia's Living History performance is continuous throughout the day (Something is happening all day) with scheduled demonstration times, so every time you pass by you will see something different happening. We include parts of your local history in our stories to make them even more interesting John said, it adds that personal local feel to the show.

John and his wife Mary use hands free radio microphones that allow them to move around the display demonstrating and explaining the many interesting items on show. Mary Jewell answers the many questions people have of the display, demonstrations and the unique Australian artefacts (mini museum) John and Mary have collected on their travels throughout Australia. "We are a multi award winning attraction for both our display and performance," Mary Jewell stated. I feel I can safely say I can promise the public a wonderful and unique display and performance where people love to return to see something different each visit through out the day.
