An old mystery, an exciting adventure. Steeped in history, step back in time to experience life in rural Victoria at the Werribee Park historic farm.
This interactive and entertaining play is set in 1866 at Werribee Park farm. Joe Higgs, head boundary rider, greets you as a new farm worker with enthusiasm. But his authority is often tested by Esther Mcleod, headstrong and fiercely independent. As night falls, what starts as a fun welcome to the farm, takes on a very sinister turn as Black Anny (an ancient creature terrorizing the farm,) comes out of her hiding.
Suitable for ages 11 and up (there are some scary elements during the play). Ticket holders will walk over rough ground but easy grades so comfortable walking shoes/boots are recommended Play goes ahead during inclement weather and only cancelled in extreme weather conditions (umbrellas are not permitted)

The Melbourne Hat is one of the BEST Frisbee tournaments to attend. Teams are pulled out of a 'hat' but are balanced so that there are a range of players from beginners just starting to play through to veterans that have played every Hat so far.
