Common card · No. 465130

Blinky Bill is an anthropomorphic koala and children's fictional character created by author and illustrator Dorothy Wall. The character first appeared alongside a kookaburra in a picture book by naturalist Brooke Nicholl illustrated by Wall, Jacko, the Broadcasting Kookaburra — His Life and Adventures (1933). Wall then featured Blinky Bill in a series of her own books, including Blinky Bill: The Quaint Little Australian (1933), Blinky Bill Grows Up (1934), and Blinky Bill and Nutsy: Two Little Australians (1937). The books are considered quintessential Australian children's classics, and have never been out of print in Australia.
