The stage will look like a dog park but will be lined with linoleum in case of any accidents by its dozen live dog stars. The cast is still being locked down, but will likely include crossbreeds, boxers, a great dane and an Afghan hound. The âmilitary gradeâ logistical operation will keep the dogs separate backstage, to ensure there are no fights.

After taking my fill of South Bank’s cultural heft, I struck out on the stunning River Public Arts Trail, taking in the artworks on this 2.4km trail that meanders along the river at Kangaroo Point, starting from the Maritime Museum and ending down at the Thornton St Ferry Terminal.
