Larrikin Puppets Partnership with ROPE Inc.

We’ve had the incredible honour of partnering with ROPE Inc, a remarkable non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering people with intellectual disabilities through education, life skills training, and community-based programs. Their mission to “Ignite the Courage to be Extraordinary” truly shines in everything they do.

Over the years, Larrikin Puppets has been privileged to join ROPE Inc at their annual camps at the Bribie Island Retreat and Recreation Centre in Woorim. These camps are always a blast, filled with themed puppet shows that bring joy and laughter to everyone involved. From spooky Halloween shows to delightful Willy Wonka-themed evenings complete with a chocolate fountain, each camp is a unique and magical experience.


One unforgettable moment was when Troggg the blue monster was the emcee at the ROPE Inc AGM, featuring the inspirational Olivia Hargroder from Change The Box as guest speaker. Olivia, known for her advocacy work and her appearance on the reality TV series Better Date Than Never, has been a beacon of hope and change.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 lockdowns, ROPE Inc’s generosity and commitment to their community shone brightly. They continued to engage Larrikin Puppets for online Zoom puppet shows and even puppet-hosted Bingo games, ensuring that their clients stayed entertained and connected.


A special highlight was our appearance on the first birthday episode of ROPE TV, filmed at the wonderful studio of Trending Media Australia. Puppet characters Troggg and Marina co-hosted the episode, and Brett Hansen and Elissa Jenkins shared insights into how Muppet-style puppets work, making it an educational and fun segment for all viewers.
We are grateful for our ongoing collaboration with ROPE Inc and look forward to creating more magical moments together! 🌟
