- Biography/History:
-
"The original Perry Bros. Circus was founded over 100 years ago, when the Perry ancestors owned 'The Half-Way Hotel', between Tambo and Blackall in Western Queensland. They eventually exchanged the hotel for a bullock team and so started their circus days ... During the 1930s, Perrys became one of the biggest shows in Australia. They were particularly well known for their High-Jumping horses..."--adapted from a Perry Bros. poster; National Library of Australia's copy is vn7326049. In 1976, Robert William Perry and his brother Albert (Alby) took over the business. In the 1980s, Mr Perry operated a three-ring show and attracted the talent of Tommy Hanlon. The Perry Bros Circus was sold to the Stardust Circus in 1993.
