Georgie Fogarty, the marketing director, said the adventure could be tiring at times, but was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Just always waking up in a new town, getting to travel and explore Australia is amazing,” she said.

“Not many people have the chance to do what we do and it’s really nice meeting new people along the road.

“We are one of the the last two circuses left with exotic animals in our program and we have had these animals for over 22 generations now.”

The Lennon family employs a staff of 30 people, ranging in age from three to 65 years. To enable this large operation to move around Australia, which is by no means a small feat, they have 14 trucks, five semi-trailers and 14 caravans.

The Lennon Bros Circus will be performing in Junee from May 16 to 20.
