All eyes in Gungahlin on Friday morning were on the big top being hammered into place as the newest and “extreme” edition of the Great Moscow Circus rolled into town.

It’s been on tour in Queensland, the NT, WA, SA, Tasmania and Victoria, but now it’s in Canberra, where it will be seen in Gungahlin then from January in Mawson and Queanbeyan.

Going through their paces this morning at the circus were three daredevil “freestyle riders” zipping up and down on bikes and scooters, while a bevy of dancing girls from the Edgely and Weber circus families went through their steps.

The Great Moscow Extreme Circus, Gungahlin until November 17.
