When Maggie Magpie gets her new book of magic, everything at Cooee Creek goes mango-shaped. Gecko loses her tail, Wombat loses his memory and poor Cocky will soon be turned into ‘Pickled Parrot’. 

Is this the end for the three friends? Who can help them? Where can they go? 

There’s only one answer the Lizard of Aus. 

So, they set off on the adventure of their lives to find the Lizard of Aus and the answers to their problems. 

This fresh fable of the Australian bush is packed with fun, original songs and lots of laughs. 

Featuring some of Tasmania’s leading performers Noah Casey, Rosie Cann, Samantha James-Radford, Emma Skalicky and John Xintavelonis. 

 

Writer and Director | Les Winspear
Musical Director | Ian Willams
