Of particular note is the Globe of Death featuring three extremely brave, or foolhardy, motorcyclists riding full speed within a 15-foot metal sphere.
Remarkably, the riders are all brothers and sisters from Mexico.
“It’s always a little bit scary to ride in the globe because it is dangerous, but we’ve been doing it now for a long time, 13 years for me, so it becomes a bit fun,” oldest brother Hugo Fernandez said.
The younger members of the team are 23-year-old Brandon and 16-year-old Geraldine.
Another standout attraction is the world first AFL football-playing dogs.
Divided into teams of three, the purebred boxers; Wags, Rigo, Billy, Batista, Rocky and Cena, leap through the air as they attempt to push oversized balloons through the goal posts.
Damian Syred’s Circus Royale will be performing at the Bendigo Showgrounds from the 18th to 22nd of November.
