The next week the Koo Wee Rup Sun reported on the visit of the Circuses -
Last week-end Koo Wee Rup and district had the unusual experience of being able to attend two of the largest circuses operating in Australia on consecutive nights. Difficulty was experienced by both shows in finding a suitable location owing to recent rains inundating low-lying land, but with thanks to the Railway Department they were granted permission to show on the Railway Reserve embankment. On Friday night Bullen Bros and Hagen showed on the eastern end of the railway yards and on Saturday night Wirth's opposite the railway station. Both shows were largely attended and greatly enjoyed.
