The Wobbly Wallaby just can't hop in a straight line, no matter how hard she tries! She seems to always get distracted, and is often running late. She just doesn't seem to do things the way the other wallabies do...
It's through an unlikely friendship with a bandicoot where she discovers the strengths in her wobbly nature, and how being a bit different is sometimes just what‘s needed to catch the worm!
