WTF Wednesday: Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Weasel Plate

G’day Wednesday! G’day WTF!

We found a crazy TV show – “Skippy the Bush Kangaroo” – set in Queensland in the early 90s. Skippy is a female kangaroo family pet like Lassie, but even smarter. You can tell Skippy to go get help from a particular person, and Skippy will hop into a restaurant and find that person (“Skippy & The Golfer” episode). It’s a great show full of sweet vintage fashion and I encourage everyone to check it out.

G’day, weasel plate!

As with all WTF Wednesdays, there are more questions than answers.

Check out all the WTFery in the SHV Shop!
