Lockie Leonard

Lockie Leonard

Lockie Leonard is a fictional character in a series of children's novels. The books were written by Booker Prize nominee, Tim Winton. Lockie Leonard is a surf rat who moves from the city to Angelus, Western Australia, the most remote town on earth. Lockie has to deal with starting high school in a new town with no friends and a house that is in danger of sinking into a swamp. His father is a police officer who everybody calls Sarge, his mother Joy, is frighteningly understanding, his brother Phillip still wets the bed and his baby sister Barbara (Blob), who everyone calls Blob, likes to eat the lino.

The Lockie Leonard TV series, adapted from the books, was shot in Albany, Western Australia and originally screened on the Nine Network in 2007.
