| FitzGerald Bros Circus | ||||||
| Movements through Australia and New Zealand in 1891-9 | ||||||
| FitzGerald Bros Circus was Australia's largest circus in the 1890s and early 1900s. It was conducted | ||||||
| by Dan and Tom FitzGerald. This was the first Australian circus | ||||||
| to rely substantially on rail and shipping for gtransport, the first to tour Australasia | ||||||
| according to standardised routes and the first to regularly import troupes of performers | ||||||
| from Europe and America. Both brothers died in 1906, within months of each other. | ||||||
| Although Mrs Tom FitzGerald carried on with the circus for a few years, what remained | ||||||
| was eventially taken over by the FitzGeralds' longstanding rivals, Wirth Bros Circus. | ||||||
