Check out this site for some ideas... I reckon a Hypercolour T shirt, pastel coloured cotton and mesh shirt, skinny tie, etc but don't forget the big hair! Think George Michael and you should be right!

Whack on a dress and some makeup and go as Boy George or a member from Twisted Sister.

or You can always grab a fake beard and a maniquins leg and go as one of the dudes from ZZ Top. Just walk around singing...She's got legs... all night.

Haven't heard of Charter's Towers, no doubt one of those shows that skipped my radar as a kid?

My suggestion: Watch a few episodes of Ashes To Ashes, and you'll be well set!
