Not the Andrews Sisters

Relive the memories and the songs of the 1940's era. The fun and entertainment that was the heart of the original Andrews Sisters, Patty, LaVerne & Maxene

Three professional singers in their own right , have come together to recreate the wonderful sense of fun and vocal harmony, that made the Andrews Sisters a worldwide phenomenon.

Two Up

Two up has a unique place in Australia's national character. This has arisen from its association with Gallipoli and the First World War generally, where two up was played in the trenches and on the troop ships.

On Anzac Day, two up is conducted in accordance with the traditional rules of the game. The usual rules of two up are relatively straightforward. The 'ringkeeper' controls the 'spinner' and the conduct of the game. The 'spinner' places two pennies on the 'kip' and tosses them. The pennies must have spun at least two metres over the head of the 'spinner' and must not come into contact with any object or person and must land within the boundaries of the 'ring' to be a valid toss. Players bet on either two tails or two heads coming uppermost when the pennies land. No other result is valid.
