Alfred Percival Bullen (February 8, 1896 in Kiama, New South Wales – August 11, 1974 in Penrith, New South Wales[1]) was, along with his brothers, the circus founder of Bullen's Circus. Alfred, also known as Perce was the son of Alfred Weston Bullen and his wife Alice, originally from New Zealand. Alfred married his wife Lilian in 1917. Beginning with a merry-go-round Alfred and his brothers started a travelling circus carnival. By 1922 they had enough money to create Bullen's Circus. Bullen's Circus travelled Australia and provided the learning step for Alfred's sons to establish Australia's renowned African Lion Safari.(Wikipedia)
