The Legends of Blinky Bill

right|300pxThe Legends of Blinky Bill is an American animated television spin-off series, based on the Blinky Bill character created by Dorothy Wall and also based on The Adventures of Blinky Bill by Yoram Gross. The series picks up a few years after The Adventures of Blinky Bill, with the title character and his troop now adolescent and adjusting to their new role as guardians of Greenpatch. Rounding out the cast are the dingo-siblings (Shifty, Danny, Daisy and Meatball) and the ex-circus animals from Blinky Bill’s Extraordinary Balloon Adventure (Tico, Slippery, Ling Ling, Penelope, Yoyo and Leo), as well as some new characters exclusive to this series.
==Characters==
===Main characters===
*Blinky Bill - Since the end of the original-series, Blinky has now assumed the role as guardian of Greenpatch. He and Nutsy are boyfriend-&-girlfriend and they and the rest of their gang live happily in the Australian bush residing in the newly constructed private high-school clubhouse. Although Blinky doesn't live with his mother and step-father (at least not all the time), Blinky will still leap into action to protect them at any length, and he often returns to seek his mother's advice in dealing with situations such as the doubts of the other greenpatchers, and his new dinosaur-friend Kneesaa wanting him to be more "prehistoric". He now wears a pair of red pants, a belt and a backward-facing dark-green cap (his mom intentionally left him shirtless so people could see his new muscles).
*Nutsy - Step-sister and now also girlfriend of Blinky. Nutsy will stay by Blinky until the very end. Her relationship with Blinky and diplomatic actions sometimes cause some of Greenpatch to have doubts about her and question Blinky's "protection". She is often the damsel in distress of the series, either being kidnapped or held hostage by the episode's antagonist, only for Blinky (or someone else) to rescue her. She now wears the clothing of her CGI counterpart from Blinky Bill the Movie.
*Marcia - Marcia the marsupial-mouse loves the spotlight, and she's perfect "big sister" material because she's one of Blinky's closest friend—protective, concerned, and absolutely convinced that Blinky can't survive without her. Marcia loves telling Blinky what to do—that is, until Blinky's size-advantage proves he can hold her in a headlock instead. Even though Marcia is very bossy at times, the others know it's because she cares, though she will never say so willingly. She wears a combination of her cloths from the original series and the CGI-film.
*Splodge - Splodge the kangaroo is still Blinky's old partner-in-crime, but like Blinky they're both rarely mischievous anymore and are quite mature when they need to be. He often acts as the muscle of the gang (along with Danny, Meatball and Slippery) and also specializes in botany. Like Marcia he wears a combination of his original-series cloths and his CGI version's cloths.
*Flap - Blinky's biggest best-friend who stood at his side through thick-and-thin since they were kids. Sometimes the kindhearted platypus gets so absorbed in his thinking that he simply forgets what he's doing. Even so, Blinky and co don't bat an eye at his eccentric antics—they're used to them and share his enthusiasm. When he first met Kneesaa, it's the discovery of a lifetime, even if he does sometimes faint from it all. He still wears his iconic yellow-pants, but now has a belt with them so they won't fall off frequently like they used to.
*The dingo siblings:
**Shifty - Originally the newest member of the gang before Jacko and Kneesaa came into the picture, Shifty is no longer the pitiful little pup from before and is athletic and tough on par with Blinky. He has also taken a degree in medics since every team needs a doctor at some point. He now wears a black-shirt, pants and jacket, giving him a gangster appearance.
**Danny - Danny was once the juvenile delinquent of Greenpatch, but nowadays he usually conns for good (which Blinky actually finds useful) and even has a heart for Blinky and Nutsy's new half-sister Angelica and her own little gang, often being a bodyguard. Like Shifty he also wears gangster cloths, although he still wears his trademark sunglasses too.
**Meatball - Pretty much still the same old chubby dummy, Meatball may not look like it, but he has changed considerably: not afraid to stand up for himself or save lives if he has too. Though his stupidity can be a liability the others know he means well. He too also sports gangster-clothes (though his shirt and jacket are small for his body) as well as his trademark hat and boots.
**Daisy - The only sister amongst the dingo sibs, Daisy is rough and tough, not wanting to rely on men to protect her all the time. She retook her dream of being a hair-stylist and is actually starting to have feelings for Splodge. She too has the exact same gangster-clothes as her brothers.
*Jacko - The comic relief of the gang as well as the newest member until Kneesaa arrived. Jacko is always ready to lighten the mood whenever someone's not feeling happy, but he can be serious when he has to. Due to being one of the few teammates capable of flight, he can be vital in locating lost people or objects over considerable distances. He still wears his blue straps, but now also wears a red ascot and an airplane-hat and goggles (reminiscent of Blinky Bill: the Mischievous Koala).
*Kneesaa - Kneesaa is the newest member of the Blinky Bill Gang and possibly the bravest. She is a Mimni (an ankylosaurian dinosaur) who got lost in the bush fallowing a catastrophe back in prehistoric times, winding up in suspended-animation underground until Blinky found her and the two form a special bond. While helping her get over her more primal personality, he acts as her guide to the duplicity in the modern world—and insists she eat her food from a plate. Throughout the series, Kneesaa is shown to have adjusted quite well to her new life with Blinky, but often when she begins to miss her old life in prehistoric times, she tries to get Blinky to act more "prehistoric" which sometimes poses as a problem to Blinky's morals. It is a never-ending growth process for both, with some startling insights into what "prehistoric" has, and some uproarious stumbling blocks along the way. She initially wore a loincloth, but later exchanged it for blue pants and a yellow shirt. She's also known to be a pathetic swimmer (which often got her laughed at) and likes calling Blinky "BB".
====Ex-circus animals====
*Leo - "Someone's gonna get hurt, and it's always me!" is Leo's rallying cry. Having retired from Africa back to Australia, Leo may be old, but is tough and willing to take on challenges, yet is still a coward like before - he is afraid of anything and everything, including bacteria, pond scum, piranhas (which are not found in Australia), and anything else that can be named. But when it comes to helping Blinky in trouble, Leo shows know-it-all Tico a thing or two in the bravery department and leads the way. He still wears his purple pants, but now also wears a lighter purple-poncho and carries a cane around with him.
*Yoyo - Yoyo the monkey was happy to find his place in the world since Blinky Bill's Extraordinary Balloon Adventure, but later grew bored of it and decided to return to Greenpatch where the real fun was and still is. Along with Jacko he acts as the comic relief of the gang. He still wears his yellow-strapped pants, but now also wears a purple shirt.
*Ling Ling - Ling Ling the panda is now a full-fledged magician and has become a foreign exchange-student for Greenpatche's new high-school. She has perfected and acquired many different magic-tricks which can come in handy during a peril. She now wears blue Chinese-robes.
*Slippery - Slippery the Weddell seal didn't get to enjoy much time with Blinky when he freed him and the others from the circus-brothers, but he does now. He continues to do some circus acts, but now under Tico's leadership and is still best-friends with Yoyo. Though still cumbersome on land, this doesn't stop him from helping his friends, and is of great importance when a situation moves to water (along with Flap). He now wears light purple-pants.
*Queen Penelope - Penelope the French poodle has become the first monarchy to live in Greenpatch. After rising in the ranks, she grew bored of Paris and missed the excitement Blinky had brought to her. She eventually moved to Greenpatch and now resides there permanently. She can still be snobby but can be serious when she has to. Meatball has developed a crush on her but she rarely reciprocates. She now wears a dark-pink royal dress.
*Tico - Now host of his own little circus, Tico the toucan has come a long way after taking the juggling-animal-trio Magid, Alsana and Sanjay under his wing and now have set up permanently in Greenpatch. He still tags along with Blinky on his adventures and often teams up with Danny when needing to do some good acting. He also takes those who want to volunteer like Slippery and even Blinky and Nuty's half-sister Angelica and her gang. He now wears a dark-blue leotard.
===Allies===
*Betty Koala - If his woes become too great or his thoughts too burdensome, Blinky seeks seclusion and the calm council of his mother, Betty. A sympathetic ear when Blinky needs someone wise to talk to, Betty acts as the voice of reason, always reminding Blinky of his unique obligations to Greenpatch. She is also Kneesaa's closest confidant. The two share a warm, strong bond, and Kneesaa regards her as her only kindred spirit in the bush. From Betty's point of view, Kneesaa is the daughter she never had. Her open mind is a well of great wisdom and she is almost always right.
*Walter "Wambo" Wombat - The Village elder and the repository of all local knowledge, history and lore. He recalls how he hated his old nickname "Wombo", but began accepting it more after Kneesaa complimented it (and found amusement in her nicknaming Blinky "BB"). Like Mrs. Koala he is a good choice for Blinky to find words of encouragement. Although kind to Blinky, Kneesaa, and all the young-animals, Walter is almost undoubtedly the bravest person in Greenpatch after Kneesaa. When the residents were trapped in a cave by Staquait the dragon, Wambo bravely stood up to the villain, and encouraged all the others to be brave as well. His presence and support keeps the town together and ensures that they are always there for each other even in the most dire situations.
*Miss Magpie - Miss Magpie remains the teacher at Greenpatch-school and is now the teacher of Blinky and Nuty's half-sister Angelica and her band of troublemakers (she sometimes debates if Angelica is more bearable than Blinky ever was or worse than him).
*Mayor Pelican - The same grouchy and irritable pelican mayor of Greenpatch.
*Angelica - Blinky and Nuty's new half-sister and replacement for Blinky as the village's mischief-maker. She and her own little group of friends Twiggy the echidna (the same one from "Blinky saves Twiggy"), Gupert the frog (Mrs. Spotty's oldest child), Suki the seabird (the one from "Blinky Bill and the Lighthouse"), Bugs the rabbit (one of the baby rabbits from the original-series) and Mumble the penguin (the one from "Flap's new Family") don't mean any harm, but likely as not, their craziness is bound to give even Blinky some serious headaches as he flies to save them—and protect the village—from danger. Since they spend all their time together, being separated without each-other knowing it will cause them to freak out.
*Manu - A mischievous baby Grey-headed flying fox bat who is fascinated with humans, and, when no one is looking, he is irresistibly drawn to rummaging through their belongings and trying on their clothes. He may even run off with a shiny keepsake or two. Like an inquisitive child, he leaves a mess behind, which means a red-faced Blinky Bill and the other gang-members are usually stuck with cleaning up after him. His mischief, however, sometimes ends up doing more good than first assumed, especially where the villainous Wilberforce Cranklepot was concerned.
*Miss Glennys Pym - A slick, opportunistic human proprietor of "Pym's shop", whose lust for material gain is compromised only by her begrudging admiration towards Blinky. Though somewhat of a nemesis in the original series, she later becomes a reluctant ally of Blinky after he saved her from a rampaging Kronosaurus. A good example is when she disguises herself as a high-ranking official in order to secure the release of Blinky, Kneesaa, Yoyo, Danny, Hugo and Hooft. She even allows Blinky and his friends to borrow a jeep of hers to find out the source of the poison that has flown into the river and endangered the bush (knowing that the contaminated water would ruin her business).
*Cedric - Miss Pym's pet canary who remains friends with the Blinky-Bill-Gang. In "The Return of Ysanne", he is briefly transformed into a Microraptor by Ling Ling possessed by Ysanne's ghost.
*Hugo and Hooft - Loose caricatures (though not in appearance) of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, c. the "Road to" series. Hugo is a blue-tongued skink and Hooft is an Australian water rat. Deserters of a Tasmanian empire, these captive-born beasts now work for Pym, though they still have the occasional run-in with Emperor Dumon (their former superior), who considers their insubordination (refusal to raze a village of women and children) a capital offense. They also seem to owe money to "Joey the Shark", a loan shark in San-Diego (which is probably why they joined the empire in the first place). Although they are smooth-talking conmen who try to cheat people out of money, they are good-natured and willing to do anything for their friends. A good example is when they are arrested and sent to prison; when Blinky, Danny, Yoyo and Kneesaa help them escape, they have the chance to flee, but return to save them from being executed.
*Jabari - A water-buffalo calf and the son of Baruti and Jamila bearing an uncanny resemblance to the young Leo. He and "Mr. Leo" have bonded over their shared phobias and paranoia.
*Dania - A beautiful female dingo who wants to be with Danny for her love. Angelica gets the two dogs together and they hit it off. Dania meets Danny's friends and relatives, with the exception of Blinky and Kneesaa, who are out tracking poachers. Dania has a great dislike of Angelica, regarding her as obnoxious and loud and forces Danny to choose between them when all her attempts to break the dingoes up fail. After the poachers are defeated and Angelica rescued, Dania approaches Danny and offers to give him another chance at being her boyfriend. Danny refuses and dumps her, causing Dania to storm off in anger.
*Chief Keewazi - Leader of an Aboriginal tribe, a group of natives who live deep in the bush.
*Basuli - Chief Keewazi's headstrong son and future leader of the Aboriginal tribe. He becomes a good friend of Blinky. Blinky once aided Basuli in retrieving an eagle's feather, which he needed as part of a rite of passage in order to marry. Though he and Blinky are friends, they compete in many ways.
*Madam Wu - A female panda who originally appeared in Blinky Bill and the Strange Koala and has Flap smitten. The first time she came was alongside Coco Phil and his gang to study the Aborigines with the Blinky Bill Gang, Flap was afraid he was too weird for her and sought out a fountain that he thought would make the drinker young again, however she reveals she likes him just the way he is.
*The Coco Phil Gang - The South American version of the Blinky Bill Gang who initially appeared in Blinky Bill's Extraordinary Balloon Adventure: they're comprised of Coco Phil (the leader) and Sophia the howler-monkeys, Gabby the Guinea-pig, Macko the toucan, Climb the sloth, Fernando the ant-eater and the jaguar siblings Jerry-jaguar, Jenny-jaguar, Cupcake-jaguar and Sneaky-jaguar. Coco and Sophia also have their own half-sister named Arianna. They all even wear the exact same cloths as the Blinky Bill Gang (though Coco likes his hat facing-forward).
*Moyo - One of the older rabbit children (around teenage). He once believed Blinky cared more about Nutsy than Greenpatch. When Hista, an enormous centipede, attacked while Blinky was with Nutsy, Moyo managed to chase Hista away for the time being. When Blinky returned, he boasted about this one time accomplishment, claimed that Blinky was too busy being with Nutys to protect the town, and challenged Blinky for leadership of the Blinky Bill Gang. Moyo defeated Blinky, though only because Blinky had saved Moyo from an imminent death from being impaled on sharp spikes. Moyo led the gang away and, by an error of judgment, they walked into a tar pit. After some conflict, Moyo and Blinky cooperated to rescue the gang and lure Hista into the tar pit, where the great arthropod became stuck and sank, killing him and forever ending the centipede's reign of terror. Moyo reconciled with Blinky, finally seeing that Nutsy was part of the team, and stepped down as leader. He promised to wait until he was worthy to be a member again. Despite his arrogance and stubbornness, when the koalas and platypuses engage in jungle warfare, Moyo plays a big part in helping Kneesaa settle the feud. Just as all seemed lost, a fire breaks out, and Moyo is the first to follow Kneesaa's lead in forming a truce in putting out the fire. He wears a red shirt and purple pants.
*Tantor, Yasha, Greenly, Mickey and Lila - Five prehistoric creatures and Kneesaa's friends from childhood, who came to Greenpatch to "save" Kneesaa from Blinky because they thought that she was unhappy in the bush and being held against her will. When she tried to show them that she was still the same warrior they knew from childhood by throwing a tour, she asked that Blinky wear a loincloth she made for him. Blinky, thinking Kneesaa was embarrassed by him, wasn't too thrilled on "being something he wasn't", but after a heart to heart talk with Mrs. Spotty he put on the cloth. Meanwhile, Kneesaa and the adults were being chased by the Dromornis Sheeta and Nuru; using the skills she learned from childhood, Kneesaa was able to help the parents survive until her friends (both old and new) were able to save them. The next time her friends came to visit, they brought Yasha's boyfriend Lombardo the Muttaburrasaurus to the bush to "toughen him up". After an earthquake created a tsunami, they ended up lost in the bush with Lombardo. The geologist showed exceptional ingenuity and resolve in helping the group survive until Blinky could save them (again), including snake-charming a giant snake with his oboe and wrestling a crocodile (and winning!). Tantor and Mickey are males while Yasha, Greenly and Lila are females. Tantor is a Diprotodon (a giant prehistoric wombat). Mickey is a Meiolania (a giant horned land turtle). Yasha is an Umoonasaurus (a short-necked plesiosaur). Greenly is a Mythunga (a pterodactyloid pterosaur). Lila is a Leaellynasaura (a small furry ornithopod dinosaur).
===Villains===
*Staquait – A vicious marsupial dragon (like the one from the Dragonology books) and a former member of Kneesaa's tribe. He challenged the tribe-leader for leadership but he was defeated and cast out. He is considered dangerous by all of Greenpatch due to his aggressive and sociopathic behavior. He once took over another dragon family that Gobu belonged to, but inspired by Kneesaa the family overthrew him and Gobu replaced him. He often calls Blinky a "Tasty morsel" since marsupial dragons eat koalas. He has four toes on his right foot (it is possible he lost one in a fight), and this is one way to tell he is in the area. In the series, he plots to dispose of Kneesaa so that he can take over Greenpatch for himself and makes no secret of his hatred against Blinky, believing him to be unworthy of leading the town (despite Blinky's actual success as a leader). Though able to talk he's more feral than most animals in the series and as a result doesn't wear any clothing.
*Queen Ysanne – A Yowie (an Australian sasquatch with saber-teeth) of Aboriginal folklore and an utterly vicious sorceress who rules over the abandoned city of Litchfield, where she lords over the Eer-Moonan, normal Australian animals whom she has changed into this cryptid to serve her. She falls in love with Blinky after he comes to rescue Meatball from the Eer-Moonan, who were capturing males as potential husbands for Ysanne. She also took a liking to Ling Ling due to being another magic-user. Her attempts to seduce Blinky and persuade Ling Ling in dark-magic fail every time, as his loyalty is firmly with Nutsy's while Ling Ling vowed never to use magic for evil, and in almost every encounter Ysanne is trying to hurt Nutsy and take Blinky for herself as well as making Ling Ling her apprentice. She could actually be considered to be Nutsy's rival for Blinky's affections. Her magic staff is eventually shattered by Nutsy, turning Ysanne to dust and the Eer-Moonan back into their ordinary selves. Her spirit still lingers and tries to steal Ling Ling's body and restore her staff. After some forced body switching and getting inside Blinky, she is eventually forced inside the body of a rat and the staff is taken by an Aboriginal elder who was determined to end her evil, trapping her in the rodent form. She wears cloths similar to Queen La of Disney's The Legend of Tarzan.
*Wilberforce Cranklepot – Mayor Pelican's academic rival who frequently attempts to steal his ideas or garner fame by turning Blinky in as a "missing link". On one occasion, he found a Pellucidar-like world where Kneesaa's kin still thrive yet his photographic proof was ruined by Manu photographing himself. He even tried to capture the cryptid called the Dirawong who is known for his heroic acts. Wilberforce even tried to capture Blinky, but his men mistook Algenon for Blinky (with a lot of help from Cranklepot). His humiliations reduced him to living in a ratty apartment in San Diego and constantly ducking the Landlord when he was visited by Dorothy Gale wanting to know what he knew about Blinky Bill. He's also the villain in the CGI film.
*Count Nikolas Rokoff – A greedy former Russian count stripped of his title who hears about a treasure in the Naracoorte valley and plans to find it to regain his title. Blinky refuses to help him until Rokoff threatens to kill his mom if he doesn't. His intellectual battle with Blinky goes like a chess game until Blinky finally releases the last few Quinkana (a prehistoric land-lubber crocodile) from the boarded up cave on him, but it is unclear if they kill Rokoff or not. The treasure is later stolen by bats.
*Emperor Dumon – A vicious, scar-faced Tasmanian devil and leader of a Tasmanian empire. He sees himself on the right side of the law, but his draconian means do not justify his actions, putting him at odds with even Danny. He acts as judge and executioner, and has made it his goal to hunt down Hugo and Hooft because they refused his order to burn down a village full of women and children. Blinky and his crew helped fake their demise, but eventually the devil learned the truth and imprisoned them. Blinky, Danny, Kneesaa and Yoyo ended up imprisoned in his fortress as well, then after allowing Hugo and Hoof to escape, they were sentenced to be hanged, but were released after Pym impersonated a Tasmanian magistrate, which Dumon doesn't notice as the heroes safely returned to the mainland by steamship. He wears a uniform similar to Grand Admiral Thrawn of Star Wars.
*Thaddeus Hunt - The leader of a band of kidnappers (presumably drug traffickers) who try to kidnap Blinky and U.S. President Barack Obama for ransom money. His two main minions are Jake and Sam, his third named is Jones. He and his men are eventually arrested by Obama's two government agents.
*Nuru and Sheeta - They are two vicious Dromornis (a large flightless prehistoric bird) that frequently find and battle the Blinky Bill Gang. They are sometimes seen as part of a group of other predators, which seems unlikely in reality.
*Mabaya - A rogue bull water-buffalo who originally belonged to the same herd as Jabari and his parents. Mabaya, like all rogues, is almost constantly angry and attacks or tramples anything in his path. He is easily recognized by his broken right horn and bloodshot red eyes. Episodes featuring Mabaya usually require Ling Ling or Kneesaa to face down the renegade in an elephantine match of strength.
*Hista – A giant Vietnamese centipede that threatens Greenpatch until Blinky and Moyo manage to lure him into a tar pit, where the myriapod dies after sinking into it. His weakness is that he, like other centipedes, has poor vision and senses with his antennas to hunt, a weakness Blinky uses to his advantage.
*Johannes Niels and Merkus – Two miners who first came to the bush to mine diamonds. Niels is the tall, blond haired and calmer of the two, and Merkus is shorter, muscular and more violent. Blinky agreed to guide them to a volcano to dig for diamonds, on the condition that he gets one to give to Nutsy. After a mishap, they lose their diamonds and leave in chains. They later return to retrieve the diamonds, which may not have survived the lava. They are attacked by Staquait, whom they capture, and are about to take him around the world as a showpiece until Blinky, along with a protesting Tico, rescue him. Once again, Niels and Merkus leave the bush empty handed.
*Ian McTeague - A corrupt greedy businessman. He started up an illegal mining operation near the mountain, where he and his men believe that there is gold for them to dig. As they do so, they use the water from the river to irrigate their operation, where they separate the dirt from ore with chemicals, which are then later spilled out into the rest of the river heading towards the bush. Because of this, it has caused a plague among the animals drinking it (even Slippery almost fell victim to it). Even the Aboriginal tribe fell victim to the plague, as they used the river for their crops and drinking. Needless to say, McTeague doesn't care about the toxicity of the chemicals and continues dumping them into the river, as he still wants to be rich. Upon learning about the mine, Blinky and his friends ally with the Aborigines to build a dam to block the river and then break it down to have the rushing water destroy the whole mine operation for good, leaving the river fresh and clean again. McTeague and his men then leave in a huff, but not after McTeague angrily swears revenge against Blinky and the Aborigine tribe for ruining his mining operation.
*Lady Waltham - An aristocrat and cousin of Basil and Cyril Curcus who wants revenge on Blinky for harming the former (at least, in her own mind). She had her valet Hobson capture those close to him and then poison Blinky. Blinky was then given a challenge by Lady Waltham which was either save those he is close to from danger or head to a mountain she dubbed "Circus Peak" where the antidote is. Though Blinky saves his friends and family, he ends up saving Lady Waltham from Dromornis. Afterwards, she gave Blinky the antidote realizing that Blinky would never have hurt her cousin on purpose. She is implied to have made peace with Blinky and his family and has returned to her original life.
*Hobson - Lady Waltham's valet.
*Dylan - a treacherous Aboriginal warrior and one of Basuli's subordinates. Despite serving for Basuli, Dylan holds a personal hatred and jealousy against the chief's son, and is hostile towards outsiders (mainly Blinky and his friends). Upon learning that Basuli is planning to get an eagle's feather with Blinky's help as part of the customs for Basuli to marry and be future chief, Dylan secretly plotted to dispose of Basuli so that he himself can be the new chief. He caused several incidents during Blinky and Basuli's journey: such as chopping down a tree into a river they were crossing over, disturbing a herd of dinosaurs to stampede after the duo and causing a rock slide on them in a prehistoric graveyard near the mountain. After the third attempt fails, Dylan reveals his true colors to both Blinky and Basuli before engaging into a fight with the latter. Fortunately, Basuli defeats Dylan and banishes him from the tribe for his treachery, and Dylan is last seen walking away into the midst with an angry look on his face, implying that he might return to get revenge.
*Terkina - A snake-necked turtle (abbreviated to Terk) and Blinky's ex-girlfriend from high-school, nicknamed Terk-Turtle. She is an ace pilot who carries a sword-cane with a silver eagle head and a Webley pistol and flies in a General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark jet equipped with floats for landing on water. She once worked for Australian Intelligence but switched to the "other side" (possibly Japanese in reference to World War 2, but never specified) as a double agent when she realized how profitable it would be, by bringing them a code machine which was disguised as a music box that she gave Blinky during their date. Despite her betrayal of Blinky, she rescues him from certain death and is eventually arrested by Captain Matau the bulldog-ant of the local air-force.
===Minor characters===
*Bob Markham - A logger, widower, and single father to his daughter Abby. After his wife died, he sunk everything he had into logging. However, the way he was logging tore up so much soil, that a long dormant plague was released and threatened to kill his men, daughter and Daisy. With help from Blinky, Danny and Splodge, Markham gathered all but one of the ingredients for the cure. The last one was a flower that was only found in one part of the bush, until Markham's men bulldozed over them while logging. By some luck, Abby had picked one of them before, and Splodge showed her how to press it, thus preserving it. After Abby and Markham's men were cured, they ceased logging and started to plant the seeds saved from the flower.
*Abigail "Abby" Markham - Abby Markham is the daughter of Bob Markham, she appears to be 5–9 years old, but may be older. Markham loves his daughter, and will do anything for her. When she falls ill with the same plague that threatens his men and Daisy-dingo, he asks for Blinky's help to cure her. Together, they get all but one ingredient for the cure, a flower found only in an area that Markham's men had already bulldozed over; Luckily, Abby had picked one of the flowers prior to the bulldozing and preserved it by pressing it. She is last seen playing tag with Penelope, Daisy and even Mayor Pelican.
*Gubo - A marsupial-dragon from a remote corner of the bush. Blinky and Marcia found him being attacked by monitor-lizards and saved him. He ended up with a broken leg. Marcia felt she wasn't girly enough for him. He managed to trick Kneesaa into coming with him to his family so he could meet his leader. Kneesaa then finds out Staquait is his leader. He showed up a few months ago and killed Gubo's original leader. Staquait and Kneesaa prepare to battle, but Gubo stands up to him and reminds everyone that there is strength in numbers and the dragons gang up on Staqauit, driving him off. Gubo then steps in to take place as new leader. Marcia tries her lady charms, but Gubo tells her that he always liked Marcia the way she is. They both end up leaving to throw mud at feral pigs.
*Zutho - A shady shingle-backed skink that Blinky and his friends first encountered as kids at the forbidden side of the river. While Blinky teaches Zutho and his friends how to make slingshots, a fire broke out and nearly destroyed the bush but the rain had put it down. Blinky blamed himself and ended up in Zutho's debt. Years later, Zutho resurfaces in order to get Blinky to fulfill his favor into dealing with some annoying cicadas that were keeping him up at night. With help from others, Blinky did the right thing and admitted what happened the day of the fire to his mother who then dealt with Zutho.
*Gozan - A shingle-backed skink who is one of Zutho's friends.
*Dorothy Wall - A book writer who was in need of inspiration for her next novel. She eventually finds it when discovering about Blinky Bill. After meeting some of Blinky's acquaintances, she finally meets Blinky when Blinky saves her. After a talk with Blinky and his mother he creates a novel (in comparison to the reality version of it) and her boss says everyone will remember her by it. She was also a real person who wrote the Blinky Bill series.
