Set in the fictional Waratah National Park (NSW), the Skippy series focuses largely on the adventures of a young boy, Sonny Hammond, and his intelligent pet kangaroo, Skippy. Sonny is the youngest child of Head Ranger Matt Hammond. Matt was left a widower in his early forties when his wife Mary died not long after Sonny was born. Other principal characters are Sonny's older brother Mark, Flight Ranger Jerry King (the park's helicopter pilot), and Ranger Clancy Merrick, the teenage daughter of another park ranger.

1 y separately published work icon Jimmy Hurley to the Rescue Carol Odell , Sydney : Angus and Robertson , 1964 Z926063 1964 single work children's fiction children's adventure 'Jimmy Hurley was ten years old, and the sort of small boy who makes friends with everyone. Geoff and Jan, his older brother and sister, were not really surprised when he rescued from the circus Zarkie, a little aboriginal boy; but they had no idea they would be led into such adventures. Neither had Mrs Hurley, or she would never have gone off so cheerfully on holiday. Neither had Dr Hurley, or he would not have been so confident that looking after the family in his wife's absence would be a simple matter. He certainly hadn't expected to be involved in a circus fire, or a search for monsters on the beach - or in any other of the strange things that happened. And it was some time before he realized that Jimmy was at the bottom of it all!' (from Dust Jacket)
