The Bush Adventure - Synopsis Part one - The Rescue One morning
Aan-dew, a small bush potoroo, hears a desperate sound coming from
some distance away. Overcoming his fear of the dangers his
grandmother has always warned him about, he sets off to find out
what - or who - is in trouble. He finds a baby creature about to be
attacked by a vicious crow. Able to frighten the crow off
temporarily, Aan-dew tries to help the infant. As evening
approaches he digs out a shelter under a rock for them both where
they spend a terrifying night together. The next morning, a pair of
rabbit sisters who are friends of Aan-dew's, find him and with the
help of some other friendly animals, devise a plan to take the baby
to safety. The rabbits have an amazing knowledge of languages and
soon decide that the infant is a fledgling magpie. The rabbit
sisters are also able to help when the baby's mother eventually
finds them. The problem is how to move the infant Nai-nee to
safety, as she cannot fly and the adult birds are unable to carry
her to their nest. The next two days are filled with more
excitement and much late night story telling in their makeshift
shelter, until the decision is finally made to take the infant to
the relative safety of Aan-dew's home on the far side of the hill.
Part two - The Storm As plans are laid to return Nai-nee to her
mother's nest, there are further adventures including more threats
and attacks by the crows, narrow escapes from a fox, a frightening
experience with tall two legged creatures carrying sticks, and the
arrival of several other rabbit and potoroo family members and
friends. Then a terrifying storm breaks, bringing a night of fear
and devastation. At the height of the storm, the potoroos and the
infant bird are in danger of drowning in their flooding home until
they receive timely assistance from the adult magpies. After their
recovery from the storm, plans are made to help Nai-nee return to
her family. Aan-dew's cousin, a small female tree kangaroo named
Gem-ma, is enlisted and is happy to attempt the climb with the
infant in her pouch. Part Three - The Climb The animals and birds
train for many days, with every animal and magpie allocated a
different task to ensure that the final attempt goes smoothly. The
magpie family promises to protect Gem-ma from any other marauding
birds. The following days and nights are filled with hard work,
more adventures and some outrageous night-time story telling until
the big day arrives. Unfortunately, the friends do not know that
the crows, who have been watching their progress, have enlisted the
help of a flock of butcherbirds to attack Gem-ma during the climb.
When she is knocked from her position and snared in some branches,
Aan-dew, without thinking, overcomes his fear of heights and dashes
up the tree to help. The cowardly crows refuse to help the
butcherbirds and eventually the magpies, with Aan-dew's help,
overcome the odds.
