Episode 1

The present, the wind and the very cross lizard

It's Willa's birthday and Victor has the best present ever. He's sure he has everything… until he remembers it's still on the table under the house. Then the wind changes, and the balloon is blown off course into strange red country full of giant mounds. When Victor bumps a frill-necked lizard off his favourite sunning log, he has to work out how the lizard feels, and how to make it right.

The characters

Who's in the basket

Rhodesian Ridgeback · Balloon pilot

Victor

Strong, cheerful and very forgetful. Grew up in the bush rounding up sheep with his mates, and is pretty good at digging holes.

“Everything! …Probably. Let's go!”

Superb fairy-wren · Navigator

Echo

Knows the way home, knows a lot of facts, and finds Victor's mistakes very funny. Always asks how everyone else is feeling.

“Oh, not again, Victor?”

The Lizard

Cross when he's cold, friendly once he's warm. Only shows his frill when he's annoyed, or wants to show off.

“Want to see my frill when I'm NOT scared?”
