Premise

Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (voiced by Jamie Oxenbould) is a young park ranger (possibly early 20's) who resides in Bushtown who always happens to get in the way of Mayor Croco, his greedy wife Sulka, his pack of goons and his frequent get-rich schemes which often endanger the town.

Characters

• Skippy: A Bush Kangaroo and the protagonist. He works as the park ranger of Bushtown. He is a very thoughful, caring, dutiful and well-educated sort doing what he can keep Bushtown in order and its people happy.
• Matilda: A Bush Kangaroo who casts the news on television around Bushtown. Usually she is first on the scene and she's a good friend of Skippy, open to his ideas.
• Professor Angus McPouch: A Scottish-accented Pelican who invents gizmos to improve progress in Bushtown. Half of his inventions don't always have a successful testing phase.
• Mayor Croco: A Crocodile and the primary antagonist. He starts out as a garbage collector and becomes mayor of Bushtown by a pure stroke of luck, but he doesn't do his fair service for the people and regards Skippy as a hindrance to his campaign.
• Rowdy: A rat and one of Croco's goons who serves as his chauffeur.
• Brusier: A bull and one of Croco's goons.
• Damon: A boar and another of Croco's goons.
• Suka: Croco's spoiled and prissy wife with a mania for cleanliness and Croco just cannot disagree with her demands and opinions.
• Plato Bill: The previous mayor of Bushtown who had been in service for 50 years and then retired.
