Three Madonnas Take Centre Stage at Madame Tussauds Sydney

After over 20 years of a noticeable absence on the shores of Australia, today Madonna has finally made an exciting appearance in Sydney being welcome by fans at the iconic Opera House in the form of not one, but three wax figures, en route to Madame Tussauds.

The three styles of the legendary superstar represent Madonna from her most recent ‘MDNA’ tour, her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour as well as her infamous ‘Like a Virgin’ look that fans around the world know and love. Famous for her ever-changing style, the newest wax incarnation is inspired by her latest ‘MDNA’ tour and shows her in a dramatic performance pose wearing a fitted pinstriped trouser suit with a striking black metallic leather corset.

The second figure portrays Madonna at the outset of her meteoric rise to fame in her 1984 MTV ‘Like a Virgin’ grungy bridal outfit and the third shows her in the knee high black boots, black satin jacket, fingerless gloves and cane from her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour.



“This is a first time we have ever launched three different figures of one female performer here at Madame Tussauds, so it’s a very special event,” said Quinn Clarke, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Sydney. “We are very lucky to be able to bring together these three extremely striking portrayals of one of the most influential and iconic contemporary music artists of all time and we know fans are going to relish the opportunity to meet not one but three Madonnas.

The Madonna figures will be with us only for a limited time - until October 2014 - so those who want to see her in triplicate should make plans to do so now!!

The figures will be joining an iconic cast of female performers at Madame Tussauds including Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue, all of whom would have no doubt been inspired by the Queen of Pop and her iconic career.

Suncorp Stadium - Queensland Tourist Attractions

Upcoming Events at Suncorp Stadium - View upcoming events

Suncorp Stadium - A History

Lang Park is the original name of the site located in the Brisbane suburb of Milton, Queensland, Australia, now occupied by the major sports facility known by its sponsorship name, Suncorp Stadium (formerly Suncorp-Metway Stadium). Lang Park is also known as Brisbane Stadium when in use during AFC competitions due to conflicting sponsorship reasons.

In the late 1990s, it was decided that Brisbane needed a state of the art rectangular stadium. Suncorp Stadium was chosen as the site. The $280 million redevelopment commenced in July 2001 after Game One of the 2001 State of Origin series. The redevelopment was completed in time for the match between the Brisbane Broncos and Newcastle Knights on 1 June 2003; Brisbane's first game at Suncorp Stadium for more than a decade.

The stadium is now a 52,500 state of the art all-seater rectangular stadium, a far cry from the former Lang Park oval with two grandstands set back from a perimeter road. The only remaining stand from before the redevelopment is

the Western Grandstand. The extension of the facility resulted in the demolition of a number of buildings along Milton Road, including the former Brisbane City Council trolley-bus depot.

Natural Pink Lakes of Perth, Australia - Hutt Lagoon at Port Gregory

Western Australia is home to a number of extraordinary ‘pink lakes’.This particular bubblegum-pink wonder of nature is the Hutt Lagoon at Port Gregory (about 5 hours drive from Perth city).

This stunning spot is hidden along the extensive coastline of Western Australia and its vibrant hue is created by bacteria which becomes trapped in the salt granules.

The breathtaking colours of the Hutt Lagoon in Western Australia change during the day, and it is best viewed at sundown.

The colours of the Hutt Lagoon are magnificent from the air, these shots were captured onboard Kalbarri Air Charter.
