Skippy (radio series)

Skippy was an Australian children's radio serial based on the popular television series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. It followed the adventures of Sonny Hammond, a young boy living in Waratah National Park, and his intelligent kangaroo companion, Skippy.

The radio series, like the television show, centered around Sonny, Skippy, and the park rangers who protected the park and its wildlife. Stories typically involved rescuing injured animals, foiling poachers, or solving mysteries within the park. While drawing inspiration from the TV series, the radio adaptation often presented unique storylines and characters.

The broadcast schedule and details of the production company are not readily available in comprehensively cataloged archives, making detailed information about specific episodes and the overall run of the series scarce. However, evidence suggests it was aired in Australia during the 1960s and 1970s, concurrent with the television series' popularity. It targeted a young audience and aimed to entertain and educate children about Australian wildlife and conservation.
