The Battle for Bundanoon

Bruce the Kangaroo

The Battle for Bundanoon

Set in the grounds of a nursing home in the quiet town of Bundanoon, NSW, Australia, this allegorical tale follows Bruce, a dominant kangaroo, who rules over a diverse community of animals. His kingdom is a delicate balance of power, unity, and vigilance, threatened by a band of rogue intruders seeking to claim the territory as their own. As tensions rise and battle looms, Bruce must unite his unlikely allies—a weary wombat, a wily cockatoo, a determined young kangaroo, and others—to defend their home.

The story explores themes of leadership, resilience, and the strength found in unity, as the animals navigate the trials of survival and the weight of protecting what is theirs. In the face of danger, the creatures of Bundanoon learn that true power lies not in brute strength, but in cooperation and trust.
