- Considerations
This is a very adaptable show, suitable for most indoor venues (and even some outdoor venues). A stage is not required as we find being on the same level as the children encourages interactivity and engagement. Bump in and bump out are very time efficient due to the simple staging of the production.
Created by 4th generation farmer Cilla Slack, Blue Gum Farm TV is a show for children about life in the Australian bush. After launching it's online TV series in November 2015, Blue Gum Farm TV has now developed a live children's show (also based on the TV series). With vibrant songs, wonderful music and adorable animals, this authentic account of Australia’s rural way of life is irresistible to young children as well as being a genuinely educational experience.

Unique Selling Point
With music, singing and real animals, The Moo Crew is a fun and interactive children’s show, perfect for family entertainment at festivals, events and private functions.

Community Engagement
The goal of this production is to re-connect the city with the country. To educate children about fresh, locally grown food, how to prepare it and the industries that produce it. Through this highly engaging medium Blue Gum Farm TV's Moo Crew are showcasing farm life for children who otherwise may not get to experience it. And, for children in rural areas it is a celebration of their way of life and acknowledgement of the contribution their industries and communities make to our country.

Cilla Slack recently performed her live show “Blue Gum Farm” at the North Burnett Heartland Festival. This live show full of audience participation had the children thoroughly entertained with songs and interaction with live animals. I would highly recommend this show to anyone wishing to engage and entertain children and teach them all about life on the farm. (Read More)
