AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Little Echidna finds herself stranded on the wrong side of the road. She and her new friend Wombat, together with help from other familiar Australian bush animals, get into one hilarious scrape after the other as they struggle to return Echidna to her home. Kookaburra wants Echidna to fly across the busy road, platypus wants her to swim across the river, and possum wants her to swing from branch to branch to get to the other side. Even if little Echidna does get back home, will it be as wonderful as she remembers it? (Australian Children's Television Foundation)
