Thread: Large props in Australia?

Im not sure if any of your lovely people can help..

I have my next gig on the 9th Jan, I would love to do something a little different but not sure as yet (Its a heavy metal/goth club)..

I would ideally love to incorporate a large prop of some sort but I am not sure what as yet (still throwing ideas around).

Would anyone know of any places in Australia (Melbourne would be better) that sell second hand props or anything like that?

I don't know off hand (Except to point you to places like Recycled Garbage but they're in Brisbane) but I'll ask around

Thank you!

Hi Laura

How big are you thinking? I usually make my props... paper mache or a 2 dimensional cardboard facade which i paint and decorate etc. If you think of what you want as your prop let me know and I might be able to think of a way you could make it

Hi Laura,
There is a company in Melbourne called The Prop Store.
They have over 7000 props in all different themes.

Hope this helps.

I was thinking about 1m x 1m.. Im only 5ft nothing so anything bigger would be silly..

im thinking a giant coconut?? hehhe

Thenk you for the link Barbsie, checking it out now!

that shouldnt be too hard to make out of paper mache. though obviously a lot easier if you can find one for hire !

Well I have decided to do a whole new routine and make it one of my staples... I thought I would do it with something I love..

I have a bit of a shoe fetish (I own over 100 pairs currently)..

So I am now on the hunt for a giant shoe (Think Priscilla) that I can use.. I know this has been done before, but not that often.

So, now to hunt for a giant shoe in Australia!!!
