An all-ages adventure into a wonderland of interactive performances starring some iconic Australian animal characters and an intrepid tour guide.
Do you believe in the power of IMAGINATION? Pat Malone’s Magic Garden is a fun-fuelled interactive journey of exploration and creativity for families. Join Pat Malone, a bush adventurer and Mythical Creature Researcher as he embarks on specialised research into Autonomous Imaginary Species. These are creatures that begin in the imagination or the collective consciousness and then become real, physical creatures that have a life all of their own! Now, it might sound crazy and bet you’re wondering how it’s possible… Along the way, you will meet mythical Australian creatures, observe them in their habitat, be mesmerised by their surprising behaviours, and share the laughs as each has a physical encounter with Pat.
