A touch of Wellywood awaits visitors at a new attraction where you can pose with props used in famous TV shows and movies such as The Tribe and The Piano.
Westside Studios co-owner Robert Baldock has put hundreds of show props on display at his Shelly Bay premises.

Props from other TV shows are also on display and able to be handled, including items from Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules.
They come from more than 10,000 props collected by Mr Baldock over the past 20 years. He said they had a replacement value of "many millions of dollars".
Westside Studios which supplies props and equipment for the film industry, theatres and floats for the annual Christmas parade is open between 10am and 4pm from Tuesday to Saturday. The entry fee for adults is $14 and it is half price for children.
