If you need to find twirlers, there are some lovely Byron persons at a little shop that sells twirling gear. It is on Johnson Street, in a courtyard of shops just before the train station. Its where I got my first practice poi & had my first poi lesson!!!
There is also a wonderful tarot reader at the markets. I think you will love her Valura. I went along expecting a typical cheesy reading, (I have a contest going with some friends to find the worst tarot reading in the world) and she was brilliant. No bollocks, just an intelligent reading of the person sitting in front of her.
