RINDI HARRADINE
Rindi Harradine has always been a performer. Whether it was busking outside the chicken shop as a child or performing shows with her cousins on the back veranda. It wasn’t until a tissu was hung in the back shed of her 1700-acre property in northern NSW that Rindi turned her eye to circus. Hanging up her muddied work boots, Rindi left her little valley to pursue a career in Circus. Rindi now trains fulltime in Melbourne at the National Institute of Circus Arts specialising in Aerial Rope, Tightwire and Group Acrobatics. Drawing from her small-town upbringing, her work is beautiful in its detail and authenticity.
LEATHER LUNGS
The queen of falsetto and stiletto will blow you away with a phenomenal vocal range spanning over four octaves. This daring deviant marries savage wit, outrageous innuendo, and what Express Magazine called "a voice to die for", to drag you screaming with laughter into a world of pleasure, amusement and challenge.

Hey there! Gotta say, this game really sneaks up on you—spent hours just spinning and trying out different strategies, and somehow the time just flies, the graphics and sound effects make it feel way more immersive than I expected, and the little surprises during bonus rounds actually give you that adrenaline rush without feeling cheap or forced; I found pacing yourself is key, not going all-in every round keeps the stress low and the wins more satisfying, and while messing around, I stumbled upon https://online-pokies-au.com/ which had some neat breakdowns and tips that honestly helped me understand the game mechanics better and get more consistent results without losing the fun.
