Tributes to the greatest Australian entertainers will be a permanent and growing display that will commence with a trail of 100 stars, a magnificent mural and a series of life-size bronze statues.

 

Variety Entertainers of the Century at Waterfront City is destined to become one of Melbourne’s most popular tourist attractions.  An opportunity to celebrate and learn more about Australia’s fascinating artistic tradition, Variety Entertainers of the Century incorporates three elements:

 

Walk of Stars: Similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 100 plaques will meander through Waterfront City commemorating the names and achievements of individual artists.

 

Mosaic Mural: a stunning 11m mosaic mural, created by renowned mosaic artist David Jack and based on an original artwork by Jamie Cooper, has captured each of the 100 entertainers in their hey day in a unique tribute.

 

Bronze Statues: five of Australia’s top entertainers will be immortalised in bronze by renowned sculptor Peter Corlett.  These entertainers include Dame Nellie Melba, Graham Kennedy, Dame Edna Everage, John Farnham and Kylie Minogue. 

 

Four statues (Graham Kennedy, Dame Nellie Melba, Kylie Minogue and John Farnham) are already on permanent display at Waterfront City.
