The mischievous Blinky Bill is one of the most iconic koala characters in popular culture. The cheeky koala was created by author and illustrator Dorothy Wall with the release of Blinky Bill: The Quaint Little Australian in 1933, followed by Blinky Bill Grows Up, and Blinky Bill and Nutsy.

An animated children’s television series was developed in 1993, starring the classic koala character, titled The Adventures of Blinky Bill. The series was a sequel to the 1992 film Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala that tells the story of Blinky Bill’s childhood with his animal friends in the Australian bush. The Adventures of Blinky Bill presents stories of Blinky Bill and his family and friends – Nutsy the koala, Splodge the kangaroo and Wombo the wombat.
