                          Dot's amazing adventures in Australia

                          I totally agree. It was such a great adventure. Just the amazing idea of going around with different marsupials. I ALSO really got into Australian mammals in a big way as a kid because of this colourful set of films. Used to get up at 6 am to see this on the telly in Winter.

                          My ambition was to have those adventures, and through Dot anyone could.

                          That Bunyip, scary creature though!
