Blinky Bill is a little koala with a big imagination. An adventurer at heart, he dreams of leaving the little town of Green Patch and following in his missing father’s footsteps. When Blinky discovers a mysterious marker that hints at his Dad’s whereabouts, he embarks on a journey that takes him beyond the boundary of Green Patch and into the wild and dangerous Outback.
The story centers on Dougie, a teenage boy with an intense fear of animals. When he encounters the long-lost family parrot, Polly, he discovers he has inherited the special ability to talk with animals from his famous grandfather, Doctor Dolittle. At first, this ability feels like a curse to critter-phobic Dougie, but he overcomes his fear to help his new animal friends fight an unscrupulous feed company and save the city.
