Stuck in a dead-end life in Porpoise Spit, Muriel

to Sydney, Muriel ends up with everything she ever

wanted – a man, a fortune and a million Twitter

followers. There will, of course, be a bunch of the

beloved ABBA hits that so beautifully embody

Muriel's hopes and dreams, as well as an incredible

soundtrack of addictive new songs. Director Simon

Phillips (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead)

leads a stellar creative team, with eye-popping sets

and costumes from Gabriela Tylesova (Love Never

Dies) and original music by award-winning singer-

songwriters Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall.

With a big cast and a live band, this will be the

Most of the sloping sitewas densely covered with mature trees and blackwattle scrub, but there were some open spaces.As well as a beautiful site, the area has deep volcanicsoil and access to bore water making it a wonderfulplace to make a garden.

There is a range of cool climate perennialsand shrubs, including hellebores, clivias, magnolias,camellias and hydrangeas. They have also massed acollection of cool climate trees including maples anddogwoods. There is something exciting to be foundin flower throughout the year.
