What's on in Bendigo?
Lennon Bros Circus
9th May to 20th May
Lennon Bros Circus is the oldest touring circus in Australia. 115 years ago, it started as a Buckjump show and has evolved into the sophisticated circus production witnessed today.
The circus is currently run by 5th generation brothers Geoff & Warren with 5th and 6th generations of the family represented in the program.
Lennon Bros Circus is one of only two circuses left in Australia with big cats in the program. The three lions at Lennon’s are four years of age: two females and one male from different litters. They were born and bred in the circus, and are in fact 12th generation born and bred in Australia.
Other animals appearing in the show include:
Beautiful Liberty Horses
Monkeys
Camels
Lllamas
Geese
Dogs
The Lennon family employs a staff of 30 people, ranging in age from 3 to 65 years. To enable this large operation to move around Australia (by no means a small feat), we have 14 trucks, 2 semi trailers and 14 caravans.
The Lennon family is very proud of their Australian heritage and aim to utilize the best of Australia performers as well as overseas artists. Be captivated by the antics of the clowns, awed by the majesty of the lions, and enthralled by the jugglers, the daring of the aerialists, the wheel of death, and the awesome flying trapeze.
Do not miss the fast paced Lennon Bros Circus production when it comes to your town!

‘The Revised Murray-Darling Basin Plan Failing the Environment’
24th May
Ian Tulloch, Sociology and Politics Program, La Trobe University Bendigo
According to the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, the revised Murray-Darling Basin plan, released in November 2011, manipulates science in an attempt to engineer a pre-determined political outcome. This paper traces the recent history of attempts to reach a consensus on protecting the environmental integrity of the MDB. The Water Act 2007 imposes an obligation on the Commonwealth government to ensure the return to environmentally sustainable levels of water extraction in the Basin. The first draft plan released in late 2010 recommended that between 3500 and 4000 GL were required to meet the requirements of the Water Act. The revised draft plan has cut this to 2750 GL and increased ground water extractions by more than 2600 GL. Ian Tullloch will argue that the targets in the new plan will not achieve the objects of the Water Act, that it is designed to neutralise the MDB as a political issue and that the Commonwealth government has missed a historical opportunity to protect the environmental integrity of the fourth largest river system in the world.
Light refreshments provided. Please RSVP to m.kennedy@latrobe.edu.au by Wednesday 23rd May.
