Blinky Bill is the hero of a book series written by [[Dorothy Wall]] in the 1930s. The books inspired two TV series: The first one was a live-action puppet show called ''The New Adventures of Blinky Bill,'' which ran on ABC from 1984-87 and procuced by Richard Smith, the second one was a follow-up to the 1992 animated movie ''Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala'' and titled ''The Adventures of Blinky Bill''. The animated series, by far the most well-known version of the character internationally, was adapted and produced by Yram Gross and ran for two seasons from 1993-95, with a third season (retitled ''Blinky Bill's Around the World Adventures'') airing in 2004.

The first season had the townspeople trying to get their new homes in order while coping with a family of playful tricksters and bullies, the dingoes. By the second season, the dingo family made their [[Heel Face Turn]] and Shifty Dingo was accepted into Blinky Bill's [[Five-Man Band]], and midway during the second season a story arc formed in which Blinky and his gang got lost while on a school camping trip and had to find their way home. The third season had Blinky, Flap and Nutsy
