Trivia[]
- This was the final Wiggles tour before the introduction of Shirley Shawn the Unicorn.
- During the opening performance of "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car" at the Perth show, the Wiggles instead used one of the arena's utility vehicles as a substitute for the non-functioning Big Red Car.
