## Trivia

* This tour marked
	+ The last tour to have Baby Baluga until the Pop Go The Wiggles Experience Live! in 2008.
	+ The last time Dorothy the Dinosaur is performed until the Wiggly Christmas Show in 2020.
* The Red Starry Guitar is seen in the background at this concert, it was never played in any of the released song clips but was used for Dorothy the Dinosaur and may've been played during the rumored song, Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?).
* The Big Red Car appeared at this concert, marking the first use of a motorized Big Red Car in concert. Joshua drove it in We Like To Say Hello and Officer Beaples drove it off stage, before bringing it back on stage later at the end of Get Ready To Wiggle.
	+ When asked about why she didn't drive the car in this tour, Janelle stated on Twitter "I think (from faded memories) that I wasn't confident enough to drive the big red car on stage during that show whilst I was singing."
* The Wagettes appear but it's unknown which dancers played them.
* Though some of the promo pictures have The Wiggles in short sleeved shirts, the footage and other promotional photos (like The Wiggles in the Big Red Car with Mitchell driving), have them in long sleeved shirts. Not only that, the promotional photos have Wags' 2nd costume, while the footage has Wags' third costume.
* If you see the photo with Mitchell driving the Big Red Car, you can see a T and an H, so it was originally THE BIG RED CAR. This was before Toot Toot.
* The show at the Domburton Entertainment Centre, Domburton will be uploaded on The Wiggles Experience's YouTube channel as part of the unreleased specials series as Mitchell confirms on Twitter that it was found in November 2020 and was restored in February 2022 and digitized in May 2022. The concert footage is getting ready to be posted on the channel but he hasn't stated as to when it'll be posted on the channel.
