Man and machine

By Miranda Luby
Tubby the Robot is a fully voiced, interactive and charming tinman-like character who rides around on an electronic scooter.
He lets kids explore the relationship between man and machine as he performs and entertains the crowd.
Tubby is performed by Melbourne-based artist Paul Cooper who has been building robot costumes professionally since 1997.
Majo the clown delivers a no-script show of spontaneous magic where the crowd dictates what happens.
Belly laughs, balloonimals, magic, imagination exercises and a cheeky song and dance break up the hour-long show.
Wacca the koala drummer will spend the day entertaining kids with his unique music all day as they wander around and enjoy the festivities.
Tubby the Robot will be on at 1pm and then 2.30pm. Majo the clown will be on the main stage at 2.30pm. Wacca the koala drummer will be near the first stand, close to the main entrance all day.
