Merrik and Jordan do an acrobatic act together, which is a fast paced acrobatic/ slapstick/ tumbling act which includes a table. A definite crowd pleaser.

Merrik and Jordan both enjoy spending some time on Kangaroo Island with their grandfather, where they go fishing and crabbing, camping and hunting.

Jordan and Merrik are enrolled in the Brisbane school of Distance education. We have an on site class room, which is a caravan decked out with computer and desks. They have school from Monday - Friday, 9.30am until 3.30pm with an hour off for lunch. We have a school teacher who travels around with us.

Sorry girls, cannot give out phone numbers, they would kill me.
