Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown
animated television series
Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown (also known as Skippy: Adventures in Bushland) is an Australian animated children's series created by Yoram Gross, set in a fictionalised Australian town. It is based on the character Skippy from the 1968 live-action series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
