Trivia[]
- This is the first & only concert without appearances by the The Wiggly Dancers, however they were seen in some rare footage while on the tour.
- A documentary based off of this was released on the Cold Spaghetti Western DVD entitled A Wiggly Postcard from Asia. There are also rumours of a lost special, one song possibly being I Climb Ten Stairs, since there was a clip of The Wiggles filming it.
- While Singapore was mentioned as one of the countries The Wiggles would tour for this concert, the Singapore shows were cancelled at the very last minute due to the SARS pandemic and the worsening haze situation at the time. It was mentioned by Greg on one of his Wiggly Questions videos and by Sam on his Q and A video.
- Greg collapsed on stage during one of the concerts, due to heat exhaustion and the SARS pandemic going around at the time of the tour, According to Anthony, when Greg collapsed the Chinese officials at the concert thought that he had SARS, and thus moved him off the stage.
- This is the last Wiggles tour where Murray wore his short-sleeved T-shirt (from 1997-2001) before switching to his then-current skivvy.
