The Adventures Of Blinky Bill is an animated series based on Dorothy Wall books, Blinky Bill. It is produced by Australia's biggest producer of animated programs, Yoram Gross. There is a difference between the book and the animated series. The book was set in Australia only about a mischievous young koala named Blinky, Wombo, Mum, and of course Nutsy. But there are more characters introduced in the animated series. The story is set in Australia, in a little town called New Greenpatch. The town is looked after by the superstitious birdbrain mayor who often gives speeches: Mayor Pelican.

In September 2006, the Yoram Gross organisation announced they would produce a new series of Blinky Bill cartoons.
