Zaida Weatherly performed with her parents and siblings in cities and regional areas around Australia during the 1930s and 1940s. Zaida's signature act was as a male impersonator, but she was also a contortionist, pianist, magician, and ventriloquist.

Some newspaper articles describing performances by the Weatherly family spell the name 'Weatherley'.
