Swagman Restaurant
The Swagman Restaurant was a restaurant in Ferntree Gully, Melbourne, Australia, which opened in 1972 and burnt down in 1991. The restaurant was famous in Melbourne for its long-running television commercials, cabaret shows, and smorgasbord.
The Swagman was located on Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully.〔(Your Guide to the best in wining,dining and entertainment )〕 It was owned by Bastiaan (Basil) and Ina De Jong. An unusually large establishment, The Swagman eventually had a capacity of 1,200 seats and covered 20,000 square metres,〔Kevin Childs & Simon Mann, "ANZ sues in wake of Swagman fire," ''The Age'', 26 December 1992, page 1.〕 and was noted for attracting buses of tourists from rural and international locations, especially Japan.

The floor shows, featuring dancers, singers, and other acts, were quite unique in Melbourne at that time. The shows changed every three months. Choreographers included Coral Deague, Jan Rogers, and Jodie Greenwood. Greenwood was a dancer and performer at the Swagman for 14 years, and was the choreographer from 1979 until 1991, when the restaurant burnt down.〔Cf. "They dance to Jodie's tune..." ''Knox-Sherbrooke News'', 20 July 1982, page 4, which states, "Jodie has been dancing seven nights a week at the restaurant for nearly five years—three of those years as choreographer."〕 She featured in all the television commercials for the restaurant, which played on late-night commercial television for many years. Performers who played at the venue included Frank Amorosi (father of Vanessa Amorosi), David Gould, Dean Lotherington, Sean Martin Hingston, Debbie Reynolds, Robert Goulet, the Mills Brothers, Dr. Hook, Pilita Corrales, and the Village People. Paul Sheean 〔(Paul Sheean on SoundCloud )〕 at age 16 was the youngest singer to perform full-time in the cabaret floorshow.
