Many of the films, television series and books that we love as children stay with us for our entire lives. Decades after we first discover them, they can still fill us with nostalgia for our early years and inspire us to share them with the next generation of young people.

Children’s programs produced in Australia, particularly those featuring native animals, have been remarkably successful both at home and abroad. Some originated in their movie or television format, while others are based on books that entertained us, our parents, and even our grandparents.

This Collecting Month, we’re celebrating some of the childhood greats we all know and love. This special collection includes Skippy the Bush Kangaroo – the wonderful adventures of a nine-year-old boy and his kangaroo friend Skippy, award-winning Round the Twist – following the kooky, weird and haunting stories of a widowed father and three kids as they move into an old lighthouse, Dot and the Kangaroo – a beloved feature film shot in regional NSW with animated characters set against live-action backgrounds, Blinky Bill – a much-loved cheeky, peaceful and happy koala featured in a series of books, TV series and a feature film, and internationally acclaimed Babe – the tale of a humble piglet on a farm who wants to be a sheepdog.
