From the Land of the Long White Cloud to the Land Down Under! Winner of the 2025 Playmarket ‘New Zealand’s Plays for the Young’ in the 3-8 Year-Old Category Kiwi is going on his first big holiday from Aotearoa across to the golden shores of Brisbane. He’s got his backpack, a pocket full of worms, and a head full of dreams. The most exciting thing of all is that he might even get to go on a rollercoaster!
