Review – Outback Spectacular High Country Legends

December 16, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

outback-spectacular-Spirit-of-High-country-legends-goldcoast-review

Last week we were invited to preview the new show  Legends of the High country at The OutBack Spectacular. It was great, it was filled with lots of variety including a 1920’s mini circus, snow falling from the cieling and quad bike races involving the audience.outback1

I am often asked if its suitable for kids – in fact the person sitting next to us was surprised we had brought our kids. We try to take them everywhere with us as we believe the more the see the more they learn.  Perhaps we’re lucky and they are just well behaved kids but we have never had a major issue at any show. Maybe a few questions here and there during a show from the youngest who has a hard time of being quiet and is very inquisitive. They have been to shows since they were babies so perhaps it’s more of a “they are used to it” scenario.  So to answer the question: Yes it’s great for kids!

As well as your meal included there is a holding area where you can soak up the atmosphere of the country show. This is great place to have pre-dinner drinks and let the kids have a dance around to the music and of course go and meet the stars of the show – the Horses.

This is what my 7 year old had to say about the show :

Hi. My name is Arabella, Shellie’s daughter. I am delighted to make this review.  The outback spectacular show was terrific, but i was a bit scared when i thought the men were whipping the horses,(later mum told me that they were just cracking a whip on the sand)because i was afraid that it would hurt the horses(i am in the middle of reading Black Beauty). My favourite part was when Emma told us about when her mum was a little girl. I also loved Mrs johnson’s apple pie. When we came out, my brother was pretending to be a horse and I was asking for a pet!!

How To Sew a Banner from felted wool sweaters

If you’re looking for a creative and sustainable craft project, look no further than the Upcycled Wool Felt Banner tutorial from Cucicucicoo. This DIY project is perfect for those who love working with fabric and want to give old sweaters a new life. It’s an easy way to make beautiful, eco-friendly decor while also recycling materials that would otherwise go to waste.

What I love most about this project is how customizable it is. Whether you’re using wool sweaters in soft neutrals or bold, vibrant colors, you can create a banner that perfectly suits your home decor or seasonal celebrations. The tutorial guides you step-by-step through turning old wool sweaters into felt, which is then used to make the banner pieces. It’s the ultimate upcycled project, giving you a chance to breathe new life into things you may have otherwise thrown out.

The process is easy to follow, and it doesn’t require a ton of supplies – just a few sweaters, scissors, a needle, and thread. Plus, this project doesn’t just make for beautiful home decor; it’s a wonderful activity for kids, especially when working with felt pieces.

This Upcycled Wool Felt Banner would be great for various occasions, such as fall, winter, or even holiday decor. You can hang it on the wall, drape it across your mantel, or add it to a wreath or as part of a festive display. It’s such a charming and thoughtful addition to any space.

I can’t recommend this tutorial enough for anyone looking to upcycle and make something beautiful out of old sweaters. It’s simple, creative, and so much fun to make!
