00:01:51Oh, I'll find him, thought Dot, as she walked slowly home.
00:01:56I'll find Joey for Mother Kangaroo.
00:02:01I'll find him, I promise.
00:02:04Oh dear, I'll keep searching till I find him, I promise.
00:02:11♪
00:02:21♪
00:02:31♪
00:03:00Joey!
00:03:02♪
00:03:06Joey!
00:03:08Joey!
00:03:10♪
00:03:15Joey!
00:03:17♪
00:03:28Oh.
00:03:36Maybe it's not so easy to find a baby kangaroo after all.
00:03:40If only I could ask someone.
00:03:43♪
00:04:10Joey!
00:04:11What?
00:04:12Who? Who's that?
00:04:14Joey!
00:04:15Huh?
00:04:16Joey!
00:04:17Oh, I should have known.
00:04:19A human. A girl one.
00:04:22I'd understand it if you were a boy human.
00:04:25They don't have very good manners.
00:04:27But a girl...
00:04:28I'm sorry. Have I done something wrong?
00:04:31Done something wrong?
00:04:34You woke me up.
00:04:37And me.
00:04:38And me.
00:04:39And me.
00:04:40Go to sleep.
00:04:43But it's daytime.
00:04:44Exactly. Can you think of a better time to sleep?
00:04:47Yes. At night.
00:04:49Night!
00:04:50Ha ha ha!
00:04:54What's so funny about that?
00:04:56If we slept at night, silly, when would we eat?
00:04:59In the daytime.
00:05:01Ha ha ha!
00:05:08You don't really know much about koalas, do you, little girl?
00:05:12I know that you eat gum leaves.
00:05:14Ha! Everyone knows that.
00:05:16But do you know what kind of gum leaves?
00:05:19Uh, uh...
00:05:23Well, I'll tell you.
00:05:26Only the best. Mmm, yummy.
00:05:29Lovely, fresh, young tips. Mmm.
00:05:34Like, I like spotted gum. Mmm.
00:05:38But some of us like tallowwood or even red gum. Mmm.
00:05:43Actually, we koalas eat lots of different kinds of gum leaves.
00:05:49Why?
00:05:50Same reason as you humans eat different kinds of food.
00:05:54Good for us. Tastes nice.
00:05:56Mmm, yes.
00:05:58This one's like chocolate.
00:06:00This, strawberry-flavored.
00:06:03And... Mmm, orange.
00:06:06Caramel.
00:06:08Very tasty.
00:06:10Caramel?
00:06:12Chocolate?
00:06:21Oh, yuck!
00:06:25Little, little girl, you're so silly.
00:06:29Oh, that was horrible.
00:06:31Where's the water, please?
00:06:33Water?
00:06:37Now, that's not funny.
00:06:41Oh, yes, it is.
00:06:43We koalas don't drink.
00:06:45Ever?
00:06:46Never.
00:06:47But what happens when you get thirsty?
00:06:50Hmm. We eat more gum leaves. Mmm.
00:06:57Hmm.
00:06:58I said you don't eat in the daytime and look at you.
00:07:01Hmm. That's not our fault, is it?
00:07:04You woke us up.
00:07:06It will take us at least ten minutes to get back to sleep again.
00:07:09Mmm.
00:07:11We've got to do something.
00:07:13But you don't do anything except eat and sleep.
00:07:16And what a delightful way to spend your life, eating and sleeping.
00:07:22Well, I suppose it's all right for koalas.
00:07:25But I think I might get a bit bored.
00:07:31It's very nice of you to tell me all those things.
00:07:34But what I really want to know is...
00:07:38Excuse me!
00:07:40I'm looking for a baby kangaroo, a little joey.
00:07:43Poor thing, he's lost.
00:07:45And his mother's looking for him, and so am I.
00:07:48And when I find him, I'm going to take him back to his mother.
00:07:51And they'll both be happy.
00:07:53Do you hear me?
00:07:55Yes, little girl. I heard you.
00:08:03And have you seen joey?
00:08:05No. Saw his mother, though.
00:08:08Nice lady. Dropped in last week.
00:08:13She's still searching, poor dear.
00:08:16Looked exhausted and so worried.
00:08:20If you want to see her, she's coming back here to the big tree when the moon will be full.
00:08:25Oh, I'll come too.
00:08:28And about this joey.
00:08:30A young kangaroo's got to drink, you know.
00:08:32Not like us.
00:08:34Try down at the river. He'll have to go there sooner or later.
00:08:37See the platypuses.
00:08:40They'll know if he's been around.
00:08:43Good night. I mean, good day.
00:08:47Thank you, koala. Thank you very much.
00:09:17Here I come, hopping through the bush all alone.
00:09:31Very miserable, the unhappy kangaroo.
00:09:35Poor little me.
00:09:37Doesn't anybody care about a sad, lost joey?
00:09:42Mother! Oh, mother, where are you?
00:09:47It's your baby looking for you.
00:09:50Your baby joey.
00:09:52Oh, well, this is a surprise.
00:09:57And that's the truth.
00:09:59It's a little girl.
00:10:01Way out here in the middle of the bush.
00:10:04Oh, excuse me, miss.
00:10:06I'm a poor, lost joey.
00:10:09And I'm looking for my mother.
00:10:11And, um, did you happen to see a mother kangaroo looking for a joey?
00:10:20A joey's a baby kangaroo.
00:10:23Well?
00:10:25Well, look at you.
00:10:31I'm looking.
00:10:34So what?
00:10:36A kangaroo has a pouch.
00:10:41You're very funny.
00:10:43I think I'll call you Funny Bunny.
00:10:57Oh, go on, laugh at me.
00:11:00Maybe I do look a bit like a rabbit, but...
00:11:03Oh, make fun of me.
00:11:05See if I care.
00:11:07Oh, life is so cruel.
00:11:11You don't look like a little girl, but you probably are.
00:11:15What's your name?
00:11:16I'm Dot.
00:11:18Hello.
00:11:20Funny Bunny, would you like to come with me down to the river to meet Platypus?
00:11:24Yes.
00:11:25Oh, um, I don't know.
00:11:27I'm very busy at the moment.
00:11:29I'd just like someone to help me find joey.
00:11:32But I suppose you've got lots of important things to do.
00:11:35Oh, yes, there's no doubt about that.
00:11:38So, if you don't have the time...
00:11:40I have the time.
00:11:41I have the time.
00:11:54If you're locked away inside a smoky city
00:11:59And you never see a river or a tree
00:12:04Won't you come with us and then you can start your life again
00:12:09All together up the country roaming free
00:12:14Roaming free, roaming free
00:12:19Roaming, roaming up the country
00:12:23Roaming free, roaming free
00:12:28You'll find us up the country roaming free
00:12:32From the snowy mountains up at Kosciuszko
00:12:37To the mangroves on the Arifura Sea
00:12:42From Haidu and Sidhu, Narrabri to Mindaro
00:12:47You'll find us up the country roaming free
00:12:51From the lake at Kadabara, Wirrakana
00:12:57And down along the coast to Ureli
00:13:01From Manthorpe to Wangaratta, Amaru to Unadatta
00:13:06You'll find us up the country roaming free
00:13:11Roaming free, roaming free
00:13:16Roaming, roaming up the country
00:13:20Roaming free, roaming free
00:13:25You'll find us up the country
00:13:27Come and join us up the country
00:13:30All together up the country roaming free
00:13:43I will show you a real kangaroo jump
00:13:46Dot, look!
00:13:48Bunny Bunny, be careful!
00:13:51Dot, Dot!
00:13:56Help! Help!
00:14:00Hold on, hold on!
00:14:02I'm coming, I'm coming!
00:14:04Over here!
00:14:06Help!
00:14:10Over here!
00:14:19Life is so cruel!
00:14:26Hey, platypus!
00:14:29Where are you?
00:14:30Stop it!
00:14:32Ah, I should think so!
00:14:35Potem!
00:14:36I knew it was human.
00:14:38You can tell their voice is a mile away.
00:14:40What's wrong with my voice?
00:14:42There you go again.
00:14:43When will humans learn that we bush creatures don't like noise?
00:14:47I was only calling platypus.
00:14:49She's upstream.
00:14:51She'll be back shortly.
00:14:52Why don't you wait for her?
00:14:54Quietly.
00:14:55You humans are so noisy.
00:15:02Shh!
00:15:03No noise.
00:15:05You possums are so noisy.
00:15:13She calls me Funny Bunny.
00:15:15She is funny.
00:15:17She calls me Funny Bunny.
00:15:19She is funny.
00:15:21Now we will see, little girl, who is funny.
00:15:30I've been here for hours.
00:15:32Where is...
00:15:33Oh, platypus!
00:15:36Oh, platypus!
00:15:48Stop, little girl.
00:16:03Vroom, vroom.
00:16:04Vroom, vroom.
00:16:05Vroom.
00:16:06Vroom!
00:16:07Vroom.
00:16:08Vroom!
00:16:09Vroom.
00:16:10Platypus!
00:16:11Platypus!
00:16:12I'll get her.
00:16:23Are you all right?
00:16:37Are you all right?
00:16:40Oh, of course I'm all right.
00:16:43I am glad to hear this.
00:16:45Oh, hello. Goodbye.
00:16:47Hello, platypus.
00:16:49Oh, wait, please.
00:16:51What is it? What is it?
00:16:53I want to ask you something.
00:16:54Very well, but don't take too long. I'm busy.
00:16:57Like the koalas. Busy eating and busy sleeping.
00:17:01Oh, you must be joking.
00:17:03I'm the busiest creature on earth.
00:17:05I lay eggs, which is really a job for a chicken.
00:17:09Eggs?
00:17:10Yes, eggs. Cute little things.
00:17:12And when they hatch, they drink their milk from me,
00:17:14which is really a job for a cow.
00:17:18Milk?
00:17:19Yes, milk.
00:17:20Mother platypuses give milk, don't you know?
00:17:23Milk, eggs, fur, a beaver's tail, a duck's beak.
00:17:28Platypus, what are you?
00:17:31I am four creatures in one body,
00:17:33and I am four times busier than anybody else.
00:17:36Therefore, little girl, goodbye.
00:17:38Platypus, platypus, where's kangaroo valley?
00:17:41Platypus.
00:17:43Oh, she's gone.
00:17:48Platypus.
00:17:50Platypus.
00:17:52Don't call her.
00:17:54What?
00:18:01For goodness sake, she'll be back soon enough without you calling her.
00:18:05She can't survive under the water for more than 18 breaths.
00:18:09Then she has to come out of the water for a big breath.
00:18:12Ouch, ouch.
00:18:14What's wrong?
00:18:16Ouch, my wing. It's caught.
00:18:19Wait there.
00:18:27Oh, thanks.
00:18:29I always knew that you humans are kind of flying foxes.
00:18:33We are?
00:18:34Oh, yes, extremely kind.
00:18:37Planting all those lovely fruit trees for us.
00:18:40Plums and apples and peaches and bananas.
00:18:44Very generous.
00:18:46If I can do anything for you in return, just say the word.
00:18:50Thank you, flying fox.
00:18:52Um, do you know the way to kangaroo valley?
00:18:55It's easy.
00:18:56It's easy. You fly west for a little bit and...
00:19:01Whoops, sorry.
00:19:03You walk west for a long time and there it is.
00:19:07Are you going to kangaroo valley?
00:19:10I thought only kangaroos went there.
00:19:13But you are human.
00:19:15Yes, but I'm looking for a lost joey, a baby kangaroo.
00:19:19Ah, we wish you good luck, little girl.
00:19:27Mother, oh, Mother, where are you?
00:19:31It's your baby looking for you.
00:19:38Oh, excuse me.
00:19:41Funny bunny, stop it.
00:19:44You're not a little kangaroo.
00:19:46You're a funny bunny.
00:19:48That's what you are.
00:19:50Funny bunny, stop it.
00:19:53You're not a kangaroo.
00:19:55You're a funny bunny.
00:19:57That's what you are.
00:19:59That's where you're wrong.
00:20:01Look, pouch.
00:20:03What do you say to that?
00:20:05I don't know.
00:20:08May I see?
00:20:10Oh, be careful, please.
00:20:14We joeys have very sensitive pouches, so you mustn't tickle.
00:20:19Oh, sorry.
00:20:21I'm sorry, pouch, but there is something else.
00:20:26What?
00:20:27It's the tail.
00:20:29Tail?
00:20:31What's wrong with my tail?
00:20:33I think it's the best tail in the world.
00:20:37Oh, yes, it's a very beautiful tail, but not a kangaroo tail.
00:20:42They're sort of long and pointy, and this is short and fluffy,
00:20:46like a powder puff.
00:20:48Powder puff?
00:20:50No, no, I don't want to talk about it.
00:20:54Funny bunny?
00:20:57Oh, well, I suppose I'll have to go to the kangaroo valley by myself.
00:21:01Kangaroo valley?
00:21:03Yes.
00:21:04Oh, what a coincidence.
00:21:06That's just where I was going.
00:21:21Oh, kangaroos.
00:21:35Maybe my mother is there.
00:21:38Wait.
00:21:51Mummy! Mummy!
00:21:54Funny bunny!
00:21:59Run, funny bunny, run!
00:22:13Funny bunny.
00:22:16Are we stretched flat?
00:22:22Phew.
00:22:24I got you out of there just in time.
00:22:28Thank you, funny bunny.
00:22:29I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:22:36Funny bunny.
00:22:37Keep him up.
00:22:38Keep him up.
00:22:41Oh.
00:22:45Pow!
00:22:46Hey, what's this left?
00:22:48Boomer!
00:22:50Pow!
00:22:52Ta-da!
00:22:53Bang!
00:22:55Oh!
00:23:05Pow!
00:23:06Pow!
00:23:08Is he all right?
00:23:10Stop it.
00:23:11Funny bunny, stop it.
00:23:13Got you a good one that time.
00:23:20And what are you doing here?
00:23:23Can we help you?
00:23:24I'm looking for a baby kangaroo.
00:23:26Yes, come with me.
00:23:28I'll show you a baby kangaroo.
00:23:30I don't want to see a baby.
00:23:32I want to see a fight.
00:23:34I want to see...
00:23:38Behave yourself and no noise.
00:23:43What is she doing?
00:23:46She's tidying up her pouch to make it nice and clean for the baby.
00:23:59Look, there's the baby.
00:24:03Baby?
00:24:05Where?
00:24:07There.
00:24:09Oh!
00:24:11He's only as big as a bean.
00:24:16Of course, all kangaroo babies are.
00:24:20What's he doing now?
00:24:22Climbing up to the pouch.
00:24:25Poor little thing.
00:24:27Can I help him?
00:24:29No, he knows what to do.
00:24:32See, he's looking for his milk.
00:24:42Oh, it was nice to see the birth of a baby.
00:24:46But really, I was just seeing if there's a joey around here without his mother.
00:24:52Oh, no, not here.
00:24:55If I were looking for a lost joey, I'd go north.
00:24:59North?
00:25:00That's where I'd be if I were a young fella.
00:25:03Funny Bunny, did you see the...
00:25:05Oh, Funny Bunny!
00:25:08Oh, Funny Bunny!
00:25:11Funny Bunny, where are you?
00:25:14Strange name for a lost joey, Funny Bunny.
00:25:17It's not funny at all.
00:25:38Skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-root, skinny-go-
00:26:09Hello, Bandicoot.
00:26:10Hello.
00:26:11I think I might be lost. Is North that way?
00:26:14Uh, wait a minute. Oh, oh, I thought there'd be a nice juicy route here. Sorry.
00:26:19Uh, North? Oh, yes, that's North. Oh, be careful though, you'll have to cross Snake Gully.
00:26:24It's full of creepy crawlies. The lizards are all right, but watch out for the snakes.
00:26:29They might be a bit bad-tempered because of the heat.
00:26:32I'm going to the North Kangaroo Valley.
00:26:35Uh-oh, I know who that is. Goodbye. Remember what I told you.
00:26:47Heavens above, will I ever find my mother? If only there was someone I could ask.
00:26:55If only there was someone I could ask.
00:26:59Oh, oh, it's too good to be true. A little girl.
00:27:05Excuse me, little girl. I'm a poor lost joey.
00:27:11Funny bunny.
00:27:13And I'm looking for...
00:27:15Funny bunny.
00:27:16And I'm...
00:27:17What?
00:27:18You're not a joey.
00:27:21Tail?
00:27:24What's wrong with it?
00:27:26It works. Watch.
00:27:29Here comes the lost joey, perfectly balanced on his...
00:27:37Oh, funny bunny. It's a beautiful tail.
00:27:41But there's something else which makes me believe you're not a joey.
00:27:46What?
00:27:47Your ears.
00:27:48What's wrong with my ears?
00:27:51I didn't say there was anything wrong with them.
00:27:53I didn't say there was anything wrong with them.
00:27:55Anyway, they're longer than yours.
00:27:58That's just it. They're too long.
00:28:01Real kangaroos' ears are only this big, and not so floppy.
00:28:06Oh, have I insulted you?
00:28:09No.
00:28:11Will you still help me look for joey?
00:28:14I haven't made up my mind yet.
00:28:17I've got to go through snake gullies, and I'm a bit scared.
00:28:22Snakes?
00:28:23Who's scared of snakes?
00:28:25Not me.
00:28:26Come on. I'll look after you.
00:28:36What?
00:28:39I... I thought I saw something moving.
00:28:42Over there.
00:28:47Snakes!
00:28:53There are the little snakes.
00:28:56No, only one.
00:28:58Shh. Don't move.
00:29:00He won't hurt us if we don't hurt him.
00:29:03You can open your eyes now, funny bunny.
00:29:05He's gone.
00:29:10Human.
00:29:17Funny bunny.
00:29:19Oh, dear.
00:29:20I've never seen a human in snake gully before.
00:29:23I've never seen a human anywhere before.
00:29:26What are you doing here?
00:29:28I'm on my way to North Kangaroo Valley.
00:29:30Is that north?
00:29:31That's Dead Tree Plain.
00:29:33Where's north?
00:29:34I've never seen north, but on Dead Tree Plain, there are numbats and echidnas.
00:29:39Numbats and echidnas?
00:29:41Yes, they get around a lot. Maybe they've seen him.
00:29:45Thanks, Goanna.
00:29:50Numbats. Echidnas.
00:29:53I don't even know what they are.
00:30:20Looks like a ride.
00:30:22Oh, hello.
00:30:24Are you numbats or echidnas?
00:30:27Numbats.
00:30:29Numbats.
00:30:31Numbats.
00:30:33Numbats.
00:30:35Numbats.
00:30:37Numbats.
00:30:39Numbats.
00:30:41Numbats.
00:30:43Numbats.
00:30:45Numbats.
00:30:47Are you numbats or echidnas?
00:30:50What's that?
00:30:52Looks like a human.
00:30:55Yes, it is.
00:30:57Hello, you stupid girl.
00:30:59We're tree kangaroos.
00:31:01Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't see very well.
00:31:03Is this Dead Tree Plain?
00:31:05Yes.
00:31:06Where are the numbats and echidnas?
00:31:08They're around.
00:31:10The numbats are pretty shy.
00:31:12You'll have to wait till they come out to eat.
00:31:14The best place is down at the hollow logs.
00:31:17And can you tell me please, how will I find the echidnas?
00:31:21You'll find them soon enough.
00:31:23But you'd better watch your step.
00:31:25What do you mean?
00:31:32Here comes the little joey,
00:31:34Hopping through the bush,
00:31:36Looking for his mother.
00:31:38Oh, where can she be?
00:31:45I'll just stop for a second
00:31:48And listen for her
00:31:50With my beautiful kangaroo ears.
00:31:56Oh dear.
00:31:58Oh, it's a little girl.
00:32:01Excuse me, little girl.
00:32:04I'm a poor lost joey
00:32:07And I'm looking for my mother.
00:32:09Have you...
00:32:12Now what's wrong?
00:32:14Aren't these kangaroo ears?
00:32:16See?
00:32:17Not too short.
00:32:19Not too long.
00:32:21They're beautiful ears, Funny Bunny.
00:32:23But you're still not a joey.
00:32:26What do you mean?
00:32:28It's your hopping.
00:32:30Hopping?
00:32:31Yes, it's not quite right.
00:32:33You don't hop far enough or high enough.
00:32:36A real joey goes up.
00:32:38Up.
00:32:39Way up.
00:32:40Like this.
00:32:41Up there.
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:45All right.
00:32:46If that's what you want.
00:32:48Funny Bunny, come back.
00:32:50Oh.
00:33:08Oh.
00:33:39I wonder what the tree kangaroo meant by
00:33:43Watch your step.
00:33:52Stop.
00:33:53Don't move.
00:33:54What?
00:33:55Why?
00:33:56Don't walk there unless you want a foot full of echidna spines.
00:33:59Oh, no.
00:34:00Thanks.
00:34:02Numbat.
00:34:03I'm a numbat.
00:34:04Thanks.
00:34:08Yes, numbat.
00:34:09And you'll meet echidna as soon as he's sick of playing hide and seek.
00:34:13I'll get him out for you.
00:34:15Hey, echidna.
00:34:17I found a nest of termites.
00:34:20Is he afraid of termites?
00:34:22No.
00:34:23He eats them.
00:34:24Here he comes now.
00:34:27Look.
00:34:28How horrible.
00:34:29Who'd eat termites?
00:34:31We would.
00:34:33You numbats eat termites too?
00:34:36Of course we do.
00:34:37What do they taste like?
00:34:38They taste like, um, a bit like, um, termites.
00:34:43Termites.
00:34:44Termites.
00:34:45Termites.
00:34:46Termites.
00:34:47Termites.
00:34:48Termites.
00:34:49Termites.
00:34:50Little termites.
00:34:51One termite looks like every other termite.
00:34:54Sort of fiddly and white and very small.
00:34:57It's a crying termite shame that all termites look the same.
00:35:01Once you've seen one, you have seen them all.
00:35:05Oh, termite custard.
00:35:06Termite roast.
00:35:07Termite jam.
00:35:08Termite toast.
00:35:09Termite sambal.
00:35:10Termite stew.
00:35:11Termite a la barbecue.
00:35:12Termites whipped and termites creamed.
00:35:14Termites grilled and termites steamed.
00:35:16Little termites, don't you know that we love you so?
00:35:21Now, wouldn't you like to eat some termites too?
00:35:24It's very kind of you, but no thanks.
00:35:27I've just finished my breakfast.
00:35:29And I really don't think I like termites.
00:35:32That's odd.
00:35:33Why did you come to Dead Tree Plain then?
00:35:35I was told you may know where north is.
00:35:39I want to go north to find Joey, the baby kangaroo.
00:35:42You want the northern kangaroo valley?
00:35:47It's that direction, but it's a long way to go.
00:35:50Oh, sometimes I think I'll never make it.
00:35:53Walking and walking in this heat.
00:35:56It's going to rain this afternoon.
00:35:58That should cool you down.
00:36:00Oh, you can have a big drink of cold water now in Paddy Melon's pond.
00:36:05Yes, Paddy Melon loves visitors and the water's beautiful.
00:36:10I thought a paddy melon was a fruit.
00:36:13Don't let him hear you say that.
00:36:16He wouldn't like it at all.
00:36:18A paddy melon's a tiny wallaby.
00:36:22Thanks, Numbats. Thanks, Echidna.
00:36:27Oh, just a minute. A word of warning.
00:36:30Paddy Melon's pond is in the valley and there's a storm coming.
00:36:35They get flash floods down there.
00:36:37I wouldn't stay too long if I were you.
00:36:39Especially if it starts raining.
00:36:42All right. Thanks.
00:36:51Thunderclap.
00:37:02Oh!
00:37:17Are you a paddy melon?
00:37:19Isn't a paddy melon the kind of fruit?
00:37:21Oh, it's all right.
00:37:23Someone looking for me?
00:37:26Actually, I wanted a drink.
00:37:29The Numbats said you wouldn't mind.
00:37:31Help yourself. They all come here.
00:37:44Hmm.
00:37:46They said you get floods here.
00:37:48Oh, yes. All the time.
00:37:50Whoosh! Right through. Water as high as treetops.
00:37:53That's dreadful. Why do you stay?
00:37:56I live here. It's my home.
00:37:58Anyway, as soon as it starts raining, I go up to Wallaby Towers.
00:38:02Wallaby Towers?
00:38:04Yes. It's a sort of apartment building for rock wallabies.
00:38:07It's just past Wallaby Village.
00:38:09Uh-oh. Here she comes.
00:38:12I'm off.
00:38:14Me, too.
00:38:18Oh!
00:38:22Hmm.
00:38:25Oh!
00:38:48Oh!
00:39:15Here comes the lost Joey.
00:39:17Looking for his mother.
00:39:19Oh, no. What a time to pick.
00:39:22He flies through the air with the greatest of ease.
00:39:29Uh-oh. What a surprise.
00:39:32A little girl.
00:39:34I'm a poor little lost Joey.
00:39:38And I'm off.
00:39:42Bunny Bunny, what are you doing?
00:39:45Nothing.
00:39:47We can't stay here. Come on.
00:39:49No.
00:39:51This is no time for games.
00:39:53Kangaroos love rain.
00:39:55Come here.
00:39:57Won't.
00:40:01Oh, yes, you will.
00:40:03Yes, you will.
00:40:14Come on.
00:40:16Hurry.
00:40:18Here.
00:40:22Ah!
00:40:27Bunny Bunny.
00:40:33Oh!
00:40:37Oh!
00:40:58Ah!
00:41:04Oh!
00:41:29Hey! Where do you think you're going?
00:41:32Is this Wallaby Tower?
00:41:34What if it is?
00:41:36I wanted a room. A cave for the night.
00:41:39Why?
00:41:40Because it's terribly dark.
00:41:42And I'm wet. And I'm tired.
00:41:44Well, you can't have my cave. It's full.
00:41:47So is mine.
00:41:48And mine.
00:41:49I think it's pretty mean of you.
00:41:51I've walked miles and miles.
00:41:53And I was nearly drowned.
00:41:55And my friends have been washed away in the flood.
00:41:57And I don't know what's happened to him.
00:41:59And I'm only doing this to find the lost Joey.
00:42:02And I think it's mean of you.
00:42:07Joey? Did she say Joey?
00:42:09I think so.
00:42:11Oh, well, that does make a difference.
00:42:13You can come up now if you like.
00:42:15We've got a special cave you can have.
00:42:17Humans used to live in it a long time ago.
00:42:19We never go near it now.
00:42:21It's dry and clean, but it's too spooky for us.
00:42:23I don't care. I'm so tired.
00:42:25I can sleep anywhere.
00:42:27Here it is.
00:42:28Wait! I'm coming!
00:42:58Whoa! It is spooky.
00:43:14Oh, poor funny bunny.
00:43:22I may look like a rabbit, but I'm not.
00:43:29No, I've not got improvements.
00:43:31Rabbits haven't got, haven't got.
00:43:33Can't you see I'm not a rabbit?
00:43:35I'm a little kangaroo.
00:43:37I'm the kangaroo that never grew.
00:43:40I'm the kangaroo that never grew.
00:43:47An ordinary rabbit from the zoo, from the zoo
00:43:50Could not do the things that I can do, I can do.
00:43:53No, of course I'm not a rabbit.
00:43:55I'm a little kangaroo.
00:43:57I'm the kangaroo that never grew.
00:44:00I'm the kangaroo that never grew.
00:44:04Look at my pouch, so furry and warm.
00:44:07The best place to be in a thunderstorm.
00:44:11Tale, glorious kangaroo tale.
00:44:14How could such a tale ever fail?
00:44:21Of the 50 million rabbits running free, running free
00:44:25Not one of them is cute as me, cute as me.
00:44:28And none of them is beautiful as you know.
00:44:32I'm the kangaroo that never grew.
00:44:35I'm the kangaroo that never grew.
00:44:39Look at my pouch, so furry and warm.
00:44:42The best place to be in a thunderstorm.
00:44:46The best place to be in a thunderstorm.
00:44:49Yes, a wonderful kangaroo is only hearing what a kangaroo hears.
00:44:55With a hippity hop and a one and a two.
00:44:59With a race-a-back, pace-a-back, here's something new.
00:45:02Put out your paw and say, how do you do?
00:45:05Do a kangaroo amazing, a kangaroo remarkable.
00:45:09Kangaroo astounding, how rude.
00:45:12Oh!
00:45:16Ah!
00:45:18Ah!
00:45:21Ah!
00:45:30Bunny, bunny, you're all right.
00:45:33Of course I'm all right.
00:45:35We joeys don't worry about a few drops of water.
00:45:39Oh, I'm so pleased to see you again.
00:45:42Oh, so tired.
00:45:47Huh, funny way to greet an old friend.
00:45:50She takes one look at me and goes to sleep.
00:45:56Oh well, maybe it's not such a bad idea.
00:46:17Funny bunny, funny bunny.
00:46:19Oh, I must have dreamt it.
00:46:22What a myth.
00:46:23Look what you've done to my house.
00:46:26Oh, a rat.
00:46:27Rat, rat indeed.
00:46:29I'm a marsupial mouse.
00:46:31Very rare, very special.
00:46:33I'm sorry about this.
00:46:35I didn't know, mouse.
00:46:37Actually, I don't really mind.
00:46:39I was getting bored with it.
00:46:41I was going to redecorate anyway.
00:46:47Oh, that must be Wallaby Village down there.
00:46:53Oh, hello.
00:46:55You like joeys?
00:46:57Yes, I'm looking for one.
00:46:59A lost one.
00:47:00A wallaby joey?
00:47:01No, a kangaroo joey.
00:47:03He shouldn't be hard to find.
00:47:05Oh, I see.
00:47:07Oh, I see.
00:47:09Oh, I see.
00:47:11Oh, I see.
00:47:13Oh, I see.
00:47:15He shouldn't be hard to find.
00:47:17Silly, great, awkward things.
00:47:19All legs and tail.
00:47:21But I suppose their mothers love them.
00:47:24I know his mother does.
00:47:26That's why I'm helping her look for him.
00:47:28Have you tried asking the crocodiles up at Crocodile Creek?
00:47:31Crocodiles?
00:47:32What would they know about joeys?
00:47:34Quite a lot.
00:47:35They're not too bright, really, but they're great observers.
00:47:38Crocodiles?
00:47:39Oh, yes.
00:47:40They watch everything.
00:47:42Lie there all day.
00:47:43I hope your joey doesn't go too close.
00:47:45Nobody ever sees crocodiles until it's too late.
00:47:48Oh, then how can I ask them questions?
00:47:51Carefully.
00:47:52Very carefully.
00:48:13Buffalo, is this Crocodile Creek?
00:48:39I hope not.
00:48:42Crocodile Creek's just over the rise there.
00:48:45But watch out.
00:48:47Those crocs are very cunning.
00:48:50I'll be careful.
00:49:12I'll be careful.
00:49:26I'll be careful.
00:49:55Crocodile!
00:50:03Crocodile!
00:50:11Good morning.
00:50:24May we be of assistance?
00:50:32Yes.
00:50:33I didn't know you crocodiles were so polite.
00:50:38Oh, we are indeed.
00:50:41But would you come a little closer, my dear?
00:50:45Your voice is so soft, we can scarcely hear you.
00:50:49Yes.
00:50:50It's so rude to mumble like that.
00:50:53And as you observed yourself, we crocodiles are always terribly polite.
00:50:59So why don't you come just a little closer?
00:51:03It's all right.
00:51:05I'll just speak louder.
00:51:07I'm looking for a joey.
00:51:09So am I.
00:51:10They're delicious.
00:51:12No, I didn't mean that.
00:51:14Then why did you say it, my dear?
00:51:16Of course, I'm not fussy.
00:51:19If I can't find a joey, a buffalo will do.
00:51:22Or a grumpy.
00:51:24Or a little girl.
00:51:27You'd eat me?
00:51:28With the greatest of pleasure.
00:51:31But we're so very polite that we'd cry afterwards.
00:51:35Real crocodile tears.
00:51:38Then we lie in the sun.
00:51:41There's a big bad crocodile looking right at me
00:51:45On the banks of a muddy billabong
00:51:48But he's here to entertain you
00:51:50So please don't go
00:51:52Won't you come along and hear his song?
00:51:56Oh, I'll scratch up all your finger bones
00:51:58And nibble off your toes
00:52:00And swallow them one by one
00:52:03Then I'll lie for a while
00:52:05With a crocodile smile
00:52:07In the crocodile noonday sun
00:52:19Whenever he eats children
00:52:21He cries the whole night through
00:52:23It always makes him very, very sad
00:52:26But then he sheds a tear
00:52:28And he sniffs for two
00:52:31Then he doesn't feel so bad
00:52:34Oh, I'll scratch up all your finger bones
00:52:36And nibble off your toes
00:52:38And swallow them one by one
00:52:41Then I'll lie for a while
00:52:43With a crocodile smile
00:52:45By a crocodile stream
00:52:47In a crocodile dream
00:52:49In the crocodile noonday sun
00:53:00If you like eating spiders
00:53:02If you like eating worms
00:53:04Well, that's such a greedy thing to do
00:53:07But a crocodile is fuzzy
00:53:10He likes two things
00:53:12People pie and people stew
00:53:15Oh, I'll scratch up all your finger bones
00:53:17And nibble off your toes
00:53:19And swallow them one by one
00:53:22Then I'll lie for a while
00:53:24With a crocodile smile
00:53:26By a crocodile stream
00:53:28In a crocodile dream
00:53:30On the crocodile sand
00:53:32In crocodile land
00:53:34In a crocodile spoon
00:53:36To a crocodile tune
00:53:38In the crocodile noonday sun
00:53:41In the crocodile noonday sun
00:53:50I think I've come to the wrong place
00:53:52Oh, but you haven't
00:53:54You can't leave us now
00:53:56It's not polite to go so soon
00:54:02Bunny Bunny! No!
00:54:06Bunny Bunny! Come here, quick!
00:54:09Were you addressing me, little girl?
00:54:12I don't think you'd be able to recognize a genuine joey
00:54:16Even if you... Ow!
00:54:19Ow!
00:54:21Help!
00:54:23Help me!
00:54:25Don't move!
00:54:26Do you mean don't move?
00:54:28I can't move!
00:54:30Oh, crocodile!
00:54:33That was very good
00:54:38I've never seen anyone move so quickly
00:54:40What a clever crocodile you are
00:54:43Congratulations!
00:54:47I can't understand a word you're saying
00:54:50I never thought I'd see a crocodile behave in such a rude manner
00:54:55You should be ashamed of yourself
00:54:57Don't you know it's not polite to talk to a crocodile?
00:55:00Don't you know it's not polite to talk with your mouth full?
00:55:04All I said was...
00:55:20Flying Fox, you said you'd help me
00:55:23And you did
00:55:25Oh, it's nothing
00:55:27People think we look fierce, it frightens them
00:55:29They shouldn't worry
00:55:31We've got hearts of gold
00:55:44Can we go down now, please?
00:55:47Sorry, can't stop, I'm running late
00:55:49First stop, Flying Fox Island
00:56:00Ah-ho!
00:56:05Are we at the bottom of the ocean?
00:56:08Of course we are
00:56:10There's a big shark swimming up to bite your bottom
00:56:13Oh!
00:56:15That's not very funny
00:56:18Hey, Flying Fox, what's your name?
00:56:21I'm Flying Fox
00:56:23And you?
00:56:25I'm Flying Fox
00:56:27That's not very funny
00:56:29Hey, Flying Fox, where are we?
00:56:35I told you
00:56:37Flying Fox Island
00:56:39Yeah, well, it's very pretty and all that
00:56:42But I want to go home now, please
00:56:45I like it better in Australia
00:56:52Doesn't anybody sleep at night anymore?
00:56:55Don't wake him, he's probably exhausted
00:56:58It's a long way, and carrying both of us
00:57:03I don't like it here
00:57:05I want to go home
00:57:08Would you like it better in a crocodile's tummy?
00:57:11I want to go home
00:57:13Stop it! You keep telling me you're a joey
00:57:16Joeys don't behave like that
00:57:19Funny Bunny?
00:57:21Don't worry, we'll find our way back
00:57:24See, Funny Bunny?
00:57:26Oh, all right
00:57:28I'm sorry if I upset you
00:57:31But right now, I'm starving
00:57:33I'm going to look for something to eat
00:57:35I haven't even had breakfast yet
00:57:37Breakfast?
00:57:39Did you say breakfast?
00:57:42Yes, there's some bananas and coconuts over there for me
00:57:45And lots of fresh green grass for you
00:57:47Come on!
00:57:48In that case, I might stay a little longer
00:57:55Thank you
00:58:00For afterwards
00:58:10Oh, I've never seen so many birds in my life
00:58:14I wish I had wings
00:58:16I'd fly back home in ten minutes
00:58:19I thought you hated flying
00:58:21No, I love it
00:58:23Funny Bunny, the flying joeys
00:58:26Ah, ah, ah
00:58:28Look at them
00:58:33Beside the barren beaten track of travelling blocks and herds
00:58:37The woodpecker went tapping on the postman of the birds
00:58:41I've got a letter here, he said, that no one's understood
00:58:44Addressed as follows to the bird, that's like a piece of wood
00:58:48And this is what I heard
00:58:51From the postman of the birds
00:58:55The soldier bird got very cross, it wasn't meant for her
00:58:59The spur-winged clover had a try to stab me with a spur
00:59:03The jackass laughed and said the thing was written for a lark
00:59:07I think I'll shove this postman job and take to stripping bark
00:59:10And this is what I heard
00:59:14From the postman of the birds
00:59:18Then all the birds from miles around came to lend a hand
00:59:22They searched upon a broken limb, a stick that they could stand
00:59:26And just as old man Eagle Hawk prepared to have his say
00:59:30A portion of the broken limb got up and flew away
00:59:35Then casting grammar to the winds, the postman said, that's him
00:59:39The booboo gal, he squats himself along a broken limb
00:59:43And pokes his beak up like a stick, there's not a bird I bow
00:59:46Can tell you which is booboo gal and which is broken bow
00:59:50And this is what I heard
00:59:53From the postman of the birds
00:59:57And that's the thing he calls his nest, his jerry-built affair
01:00:01A bunch of sticks across the fork, I'll leave his letter there
01:00:05A crook who wouldn't use his nest, but what's the odd to him?
01:00:09A bird that tries to imitate a piece of leaning limb
01:00:16And this is what I heard from the postman of the birds
01:00:20This is what I heard from the postman of the birds
01:00:23There's not a bird, there's not a bird, there's not a bird I bow
01:00:27Can tell you which is booboo gal and which is broken bow
01:00:35Oh, it must be fun to live on an island
01:00:37Yeah, if you can get off it when you want to
01:00:41I know, come on, I'm just as anxious to get back as you are
01:00:45I certainly won't find Joey here
01:00:48You'll find one Joey already
01:00:51How many more do you want?
01:00:53Bunny Bunny, don't be ridiculous
01:00:55Some people
01:01:01Oh, sorry, I didn't see you
01:01:03Stop that noise, what was that?
01:01:05We're trying to get back to the mainland
01:01:07Shh, enough of that, it's west, you can't miss it
01:01:10What? Swim to Australia?
01:01:13Oh, it might be a bit far for you
01:01:15Look, why don't you go down to Battle Beach?
01:01:18Maybe you'll find an old army boat
01:01:36Do what you like
01:01:38Joey's don't talk to crabs
01:01:40It's unsignified
01:01:43Hello, crab
01:01:45Hi there, kid, welcome to the island
01:01:47We don't get many visitors, I tell you
01:01:49You've got an American accent
01:01:51Sure, sure, picked it up during the war
01:01:53The army had a camp in the jungle here
01:01:56I used to hang around the tents at night
01:01:58Listen to the G.I.s talking in the radios
01:02:01They had some great music in those days, great dances
01:02:05Hey, guys, remember this one?
01:02:13Oh, that was good
01:02:15Thanks, anyway, got to keep the kids moving
01:02:18They're supposed to be in the jungle by night time
01:02:21See ya, have a nice day
01:02:23See ya
01:02:25Come on, fellas, let's move it
01:02:27Come on, come on
01:02:29They were all right?
01:02:31Of course they were
01:02:33I don't know why you were so worried
01:02:35Ouch!
01:02:37Oh!
01:02:40Ouch!
01:02:42Oh, little fella, you must be hungry
01:02:45Go and join your big family
01:03:10That's a beach
01:03:14What are all these things?
01:03:16Trucks and tanks and machines and things
01:03:22What are they doing here, those things?
01:03:24They were fighting here, all around here
01:03:26It was a war
01:03:28Who were fighting?
01:03:29Men
01:03:30Humans?
01:03:31Yes
01:03:33Oh!
01:03:35Oh!
01:03:37Humans?
01:03:38Yes
01:03:40Why?
01:03:41I don't know
01:03:42My father told me, but I didn't understand
01:03:45I don't think he did either
01:03:47Oh!
01:03:48What do they do in war?
01:03:50Do they just break things?
01:03:59No, it's terrible
01:04:01They have guns and bombs
01:04:03The men do, and they fight each other
01:04:06Lots of them are killed
01:04:08Sometimes women are killed too
01:04:10The mothers
01:04:12And there's children left behind
01:04:14With no mothers and no fathers
01:04:17And no one to look after them
01:04:32Oh, funny bunny, did that make you sad?
01:04:35I didn't mean to make you unhappy
01:04:38Oh, darling, I'm sorry
01:04:41Sorry? What for?
01:04:43You haven't done anything
01:04:46I tried to trick you
01:04:48I kept pretending I was a joey
01:04:52And I made you angry
01:04:55I'm not a joey
01:04:57Look, funny bunny, you didn't make me angry
01:05:01I knew it all along
01:05:03You knew I was only a rabbit?
01:05:07Yes, but it doesn't matter
01:05:10It doesn't matter what you are
01:05:13It does
01:05:15Why are you telling me this?
01:05:17Oh, because of what you said about the children
01:05:22I don't understand
01:05:24It happened to me too
01:05:27There was a hunt for rabbits
01:05:30And the shooters came
01:05:33And my mother was killed
01:05:37And my mother too
01:05:39Oh, poor funny bunny
01:05:44And then I heard you talking to the koala
01:05:47And you said the mother kangaroo was looking for her lost baby
01:05:51And I wanted to have a mother
01:05:54Kangaroos are so big and tall
01:05:58So important
01:06:00Nobody cares about rabbits
01:06:03I don't want to be a rabbit anymore
01:06:06But that's silly
01:06:08Rabbits are important
01:06:10What about Easter time?
01:06:12Whenever you think of Easter, you think of the Easter bunny
01:06:15Have you ever heard of the Easter kangaroo?
01:06:20No
01:06:21Well, there you are
01:06:26What are you doing here on Battle Beach?
01:06:29All the humans went home years ago
01:06:36I can't go home now
01:06:38We can't find any boats
01:06:41And it's too far to swim
01:06:43I have to lay some eggs
01:06:45And later, I'm swimming home
01:06:47If you wish to wait, I can take you to Australia
01:06:49Thank you
01:07:30Turtle, will you take us back to the mainland?
01:07:33Well, if you don't mind getting your feet wet, hop on
01:07:37Thanks, come on
01:07:43I've changed my mind
01:07:45I don't like wet feet
01:07:47I'm not going
01:07:48All right
01:07:49Say goodbye to the crabs for me
01:07:51All 50 million of them
01:07:53Bye
01:08:00I'm coming
01:08:04I'm coming, wait for me
01:08:18Thank you
01:08:20Anytime
01:08:21That was easy
01:08:23I don't know what you were so worried about
01:08:29Boo!
01:08:33Ouch!
01:08:35Come here, you!
01:08:37You'll never catch him, Funny Bunny
01:08:40Gotcha!
01:08:42Funny Bunny, it's no use
01:08:44Emus are much too fat
01:08:46Even the chicks
01:08:48Bart! Bart!
01:08:51Oh, Funny Bunny, what's the matter?
01:08:53I've got a bad feeling about this
01:08:56Bart! Bart!
01:08:58Oh, Funny Bunny, why don't we...
01:09:00What?
01:09:01Will you take us to Koala Town?
01:09:04I will
01:09:05How much have you got?
01:09:07Money?
01:09:08No, food
01:09:10Give me something to eat and I'll take you
01:09:12I don't know what emus eat
01:09:14Oh, just about anything
01:09:16Leaves, grass, caterpillars
01:09:18I haven't got any of those
01:09:20Well, how about some buttons or bottle tops?
01:09:24Maybe a bunch of bees?
01:09:26Are you joking?
01:09:27I never joke about food
01:09:29Nails? Any nails?
01:09:31I love nails
01:09:33Sorry
01:09:34Oh, don't be sorry
01:09:35No food, no ride, that's all
01:09:38Do you like bananas?
01:09:40Oh, even more than nails
01:09:41But we haven't got...
01:09:43In your pocket
01:09:45Oh, I forgot about them
01:09:49Mmm, exquisite
01:09:54Now will you take us to Koala Town?
01:09:57Why not? I was going there anyway
01:10:03Not too tight there, Funny Bunny
01:10:05I need plenty of air for this trip
01:10:07Here we go
01:10:09Wee-haw!
01:10:19Wee-haw!
01:10:39Thanks, Emu
01:10:41That was wonderful
01:10:43Any more bananas?
01:10:45Sorry
01:10:49I hope we're not too late
01:10:51The sun's setting
01:10:53Busy as ever
01:10:56I'll have to ask them
01:10:58Koala! Koala!
01:11:00Come on, fellas
01:11:02It's nearly dark
01:11:04Time to get up
01:11:06Oh, it's too late
01:11:09She's gone
01:11:11Dot? Dot, is that you?
01:11:15Dot? Dot, is that you?
01:11:24Oh, you did wait
01:11:26Yes, I waited
01:11:28But they told me you couldn't find him
01:11:30No, and you?
01:11:32No
01:11:33I'm sorry
01:11:34I tried
01:11:36Some animals say he was taken overseas to a zoo
01:11:39I know
01:11:40All we can do now is hope that he's somewhere safe
01:11:43But he's all right
01:11:47It's finished
01:11:49I will never have a mother or a father
01:11:52Oh, what's wrong?
01:11:57Oh, well
01:11:59I have the pouch, the tail's OK
01:12:02I'm hopping like a little joey
01:12:05When you are born a bunny
01:12:07You just have to stay a bunny
01:12:10They love thee, as the French say
01:12:13But really, is there anything wrong with being a bunny?
01:12:18I suppose not
01:12:20I wonder if...
01:12:22Who is he?
01:12:25That's funny, Bunny
01:12:27He's been with me the whole time
01:12:29He's lost his mother and father
01:12:32He's so lonely
01:12:34But he's really very nice
01:12:36Would you like to look after him?
01:12:39Dot, look!
01:12:41My little Joey over there
01:12:43Joey!
01:12:45Joey!
01:12:46Joey, I've found you!
01:12:48I've found you!
01:12:50Me?
01:12:51Joey?
01:12:53I told you I look like a Joey
01:12:57Joey, my little Joey
01:13:01I've been looking for you for such a long time
01:13:07How did you recognise me, Mother?
01:13:11You look like Father
01:13:15It's funny
