The Jungle Picnic tour brings Emma Memma’s much-anticipated new album to life on stage.
Transforming its playful songs into a joyful, movement-filled live experience for children and their families.
Inspired by the Jungle Picnic album, the show invites audiences to bring their picnic baskets and their pet rocks, jump up and dance with the elephants, sing along to deliciously catchy tunes, and play games alongside Emma Memma and her Memma mates. Featuring energetic dance moves, get-up-and-dance songs and inclusive storytelling, the performance celebrates imagination, outdoor adventure and shared play. Designed especially for young children, the tour continues Emma Memma’s signature integration of sign language as a joyful and accessible way to communicate, marking the next chapter in Emma Memma’s live journey as the brand heads into its biggest year yet.
Every Emma Memma live performance is presented with an Auslan interpreter positioned side-of-stage, interpreting the music and storytelling throughout the show. In addition, Emma Memma and Elvin Melvin sign throughout each performance, ensuring sign language is naturally integrated into the experience rather than treated as an add-on. Families who require seating with a clear view of the interpreter are warmly encouraged to get in touch with the team ahead of time via team@emmamemma.com, so arrangements can be made to support the best possible viewing experience.

The International Rose Garden Festival Morwell continues to grow in strength and popularity.
Held in mid-November to showcase the roses and garden in season and in full bloom, the festival program has evolved to deliver family-friendly activities and entertainment across multiple days.
Showcasing the international award-winning Rose Garden in the heart of Morwell and celebrating the work of the Friends of the Rose Garden Volunteers, the 2026 Festival promises to be a blooming spectacle of colour and light for all ages.
Visitors can explore the roses, take part in a range of free activities, treat their taste buds to a traditional Devonshire Tea at the CWA marquee or partake in retail therapy at the garden and market stalls.
The festival kick’s off on Friday night with food trucks, roving performers and a kid’s disco with DJ Nige from 6.30pm. On Saturday, parents and kids are in for a treat with Costa the Gnome, dirtgirl and scrapboy from dirtgirlworld, performing their grubby bucket live stage show and hosting a Storytime! Novice gardeners are invited to participate in the cut rose competition for the chance to win great prizes.
Festival partner AGL Loy Yang, presents the Night Light Installation during the evenings. Explore the garden at night when the roses are transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour from hundreds of fairy lights, festoons and LED lights. The popular roving insect puppets return and visitors are encouraged to find the giant animal and insect lanterns scattered throughout the garden.
Rug up, enjoy a picnic amongst the roses with food from the festival food trucks and chill out to the tunes from local musicians.
