Wiggle Around Australia is a Wiggles' concert special, released on April 5, 2017. It primarily uses footage from the 2016 Dance Dance! tour, as well as the 2015 Big Show and an Australia Day concert filmed outside the Sydney Opera House in 2016. It is also the fifty-third video special.

Overview

With Wiggle Around Australia you can follow Emma, Lachy, Simon and Anthony around Australia on their fabulous Big Show Tour! Shot on location and in concert, you can see The Wiggles perform all your favourite Wiggly songs from the last 26 or so years, in the comfort of your living room, lounge room or car! Cameras placed on the stage, above the stage, in the audience and even in the Big Red Car give the viewer the feeling of being a part of this musical and dance extravaganza! The Wiggles are joined onstage by all of their famous friends, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword. There is Highland dance, Irish dance, hip-hop, ballet, opera, rock and roll and even a sailor's hornpipe! Put on your seatbelts, make yourself comfortable and enjoy a Wiggly musical trip around Australia in the Big Red Car. C'mon, let's Wiggle Around Australia!

Trivia

• This was the only concert video featuring the third lineup.
• Similar to The Wiggles' Big Birthday!, the video is made up of multiple concerts, with skits and intros occasionally in between.
• Similar to The Wiggles in Disneyland, those skits make up a loose story of them exploring, in this case, Australia.
• Similar to Wiggledancing! Live In The U.S.A., the opening scene starts outside with The Wiggles in the Big Red Car and The Awake Wiggles waking up the purple Wiggle before going to the show.
• The animated intro is similar to the one in Celebration!, down to using the same stadium cartoon and "Follow The Leader" as background music. However, The Cartoon Wiggles are seen in their recent form and the character title cards are of course changed.
• "Great Big Man In Red" is mentioned in the credits, despite never appearing in the video. However, as this song was performed in the Dance Dance! Big Show tour, it was likely going to be included but was cut in favour of "Jingle Bells".
• Simon wears his King John outfit in one skit from The Kingdom Of Paramithi.
• Starting with this video, apart from Lachy! and The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day!, the only special feature is a photo gallery.
• A deleted song, "Henry's Dance", can be found on the Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle! episode "Dance with Emma".
• This is the last Wiggles video featuring Carolyn Ferrie voicing Dorothy the Dinosaur.
• Carolyn Ferrie is not credited for voicing Dorothy the Dinosaur.
• This is the last concert video where Caterina Mete is a pre-Wiggle.
• This is Leanne Halloran's 1st concert video since The Wiggly Big Show.
• This is the last concert video of the 2010's.
