Plot[]
In the town of Green Patch in Australia, a courageous young koala called Blinky Bill (Ryan Kwanten) tells a story about his father, Bill Koala (Richard Roxburgh) while embarking on a journey across the wild and dangerous Australian outback in the hope of finding him.
Blinky’s dad had created their home Greenpatch, where every animal could feel safe and live in peace. Blinky has been influenced by the legend of his father, who is on an adventure to the Valley of White Dinosaurs. When Cranklepot the Lizard attempts to dominate Greenpatch and become the ruler, Blinky realizes that he must go in search of Bill Koala. Throughout his adventure he befriends a girl koala named Nutsy, a lizard named Jacko and a few other creatures who assist Blinky on his quest.
