Quokka Kev

Meet Quokka Kev, a cute cuddly little quokka from Rottnest Island. It’s always been his dream to leave the island and explore Australia. And he was in fact the first quokka in his (very large) family to do so!

Kev’s adventurous spirit is matched only by his unwavering optimism and there’s nothing that can stand in the way when he’s on a mission.

Except for the dark... Despite being a nocturnal animal, Kev is terrified of the dark, and often relies on his best mate City Steve’s bravado to help him navigate the night-time.

What Quokka Kev lacks in late-night daring, he more than makes up for with his sunny disposition and can-do attitude.

With a heart full of wonder and a spirit that never dims, Kev is a constant reminder that even the smallest creatures can leave a big impact on the world around them.

City Steve

City Steve is a flamboyant bin chicken with a flair for the finer things in life, despite his humble beginnings in a Cairns dump. Steve has developed a palate that craves only the best, scouring Australia for top-tier bins that offer gourmet scraps. He’s a self-proclaimed foodie, always ready to share his culinary finds with his best mate, Quokka Kev, who often rolls his eyes at Steve’s questionable recommendations.

Steve’s over-the-top antics often land him in hilarious predicaments. Whether it’s getting stuck in a particularly tricky bin or accidentally causing chaos at a picnic, his loud, proud demeanour never fails to entertain. His lovable goofiness and unwavering confidence make him endearing to all. Steve is the friend who can turn even the most embarrassing moments into unforgettable adventures.

The Catcheruppa

The Catcheruppa is a beaten-up old 4WD that’s seen more adventures than most vehicles could dream of. Though the paint is chipped and the body has the battle scars of countless journeys, it has been the steadfast companion of Quokka Kev and City Steve for many years.

Embodying the spirit of adventure, it’s not just a means of transportation; it’s a character in its own right, brimming with personality. The engine may cough and sputter at times, but the Catcheruppa always finds a way to keep going, often getting its occupants out of sticky situations with a stubborn determination.

Whether it’s a spontaneous detour or a late-night dash to find the perfect campsite, the Catcheruppa is the reliable friend that never lets them down.

Tony

Tony is City Steve’s proud father. He runs a bustling dump in Cairns, where the scraps and items that no-one else wants anymore are picked through, processed and sorted by a team of ibises. Tony values hard work and has a no-nonsense attitude, ensuring that every ibis on site pulls their weight.

He’ll often be heard rallying his workmates with colourful Aussie slang that can leave outsiders scratching their heads.

His booming laughter and hearty stories about life at the dump have made him a much-loved local. Tony may be a hard-beaked manager, but he’s also a good mate to everyone lucky enough to be a part of his flock.

Rona The Raver

Rona the Raver is a fruit bat that’s guaranteed to light up any space, both literally and figuratively! With her neon glasses and glow sticks she’s always ready to set the night ablaze. From Nerima Gardens in Ipswich, by day Rona sleeps with thousands of other bats in her colony. But by night she’s out of there, transforming the dark into an electrifying festival, drawing in creatures from near and far with her famous Bush Bash parties. With Rona around, the night is always alive with colour, music, and the promise of a good time.

Incredibly cool, and just the right amount of wild, Rona’s magnetic personality reminds everyone that life is meant to be celebrated!

Aunty Tash

Hailing from the small and quiet neighbourhood of Nowhere Else in Tasmania (yep, that’s a real place!), Aunty Tash is an older, wiser Tasmanian Devil in the prime of her life. Cluey, independent and capable, she’s travelled around Australia all by herself in her old caravan.

Tash is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to camping, able to share tips on the best spots to pitch a tent, how to spot wildlife, and which bush tucker is safe to eat.

Her caravan is a treasure trove of memories and souvenirs and she’s always ready to lend a hand to someone in need.

With twinkling eyes and stories from every corner of the country, her adventurous spirit and kind heart have made her a cherished friend to many, proving that age is just a number when it comes to exploring the great outdoors.

Little Big Jim

This is the wombat to call when you’ve got a rumbling tummy and a hankering for something yummy. Little Big Jim is all about the cookup! From Sausage Gully in Victoria, he loves nothing more than grilling up a big feed for everyone when he goes camping. He’s always ready to share a story and a laugh around the campfire, and he’s never without a spare sausage or steak to offer to anyone else that wants to join in.

Little Big Jim has three flies that are always buzzing around him. These are a few mates that he picked up along his travels and they follow him everywhere he goes to taste test his recipes.

With a heart as big as the outback itself, Jim is more than just a cook. He’s a beloved mate, a nature guide, and a keeper of treasured traditions in the wild.

Wibbly The Witchetty Grub

Wibbly is a sun smart grub with a cheeky grin. He may be short but his hometown’s not! Coming from Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya Hill in central Australia, Wibbly is passionate about sharing sun protection tips, which he’s had to develop in the harsh dry heat of his hometown. His most treasured possession is his little flap hat, which he wears proudly to keep his delicate skin safe from the sun’s rays.

Wibbly is a mischievous grub, and his favourite game is hide and seek. He’s an expert at finding the best hiding spots, curling up in cosy crevices or blending in with the vibrant flora, giggling as his friends search for him. You never know where he might turn up next, so keep your eyes peeled!

In a world filled with adventure, Wibbly shines as a fun-lover and sun-safety ambassador, reminding everyone to embrace both play and protection under the sun.
