They learnt first-hand what is was like to live in Ancient Rome with activities such as Roman wrestling, Gladiator battles and Mosaic art. See more

24.01.2022 Please don't cancel our visits. We are keeping up to date with all research and advice on the Covid-19 crisis. We have devised new ways to still entertain and educate your students that conform to the social distancing and heightened hygiene parameters.These options address the issue of social distancing and not exceeding class size groupings or inter-class contact. On a personal note,we are scared that we might not make it through this insanity intact. We are a small busine...ss that totally relies on schools for our income. In the spirit of helping small businesses and the communities that we live in we would appreciate that, if you are not permitted to have us visit over the next few months, rather than cancelling could you please just postpone your bookings until later in the year or early next year and pay us a deposit for the future show. This will give us the ability to keep going on a shoestring budget rather than having to close our doors altogether. If you would like to know what we are doing to uphold the governments mandates regarding social distancing, hygiene and self-monitoring please contact Michelle at [email protected] or on 0405 331 483.

24.01.2022 This is a great page to watch the work on this amazing project as it progresses. These days, as tourists and lovers of history, we only see the finished buildings...or the remains of them...and it is easy to forget that they were made by real people with real skills and without the technology that we rely so much on today. It is wonderful to see the builders in action, to see how these building were actually made. To observe first hand the craftsmanship, the skill, the blood, sweat and tears that went into building these structures. Just awesome!!
