Giant Kangaroos and Surf Life Savers
Head and shoulders above...well everyone actually!
Roo’d
Roo'd is an act by Icarus Performance Troupe: giant kangaroos on amazing bouncing stilts. Jumping up to a metre off the ground and 2 metres in a bound, they are a phenomenal sight. Their characters are a crossover of outback macho and inner city punk savvy — always Roo'd but never offensive.

Beach Patrol
Sharks beware! These Bronzed hero's of surf and sand are on patrol and eager to prove they're ready to rescue. Marvel at their mouth to mouth! Be dazzled by their daring drills!
Heroic? Certainly
Posers? Definately
You'll need CPR after these moustachioed musclemen have bared their biceps while diverting danger. Swim outside the flags at your own peril.
A favourite at festivals around the world.
