Chrissy's Mates: The Animal Guardians
Chrissy loves all the station animals, but her bond with Boss is a partnership of equals.
- Boss (The Guard): Chrissy's magnificent red kangaroo isn't just a pet; he's her partner-in-adventure. He's as strong, proud, and protective as she is brave. When Chrissy leads the way, Boss is right there beside her, his powerful presence a warning to any threat. From pulling heavy chests to standing guard against treasure hunters, Boss is the mighty muscle of the Notawallop team, and he trusts Chrissy's lead completely.
Chrissy's Most Memorable Moments
- The Poacher Diversion: When Dozy was in danger, Chrissy didn't hesitate. She took Boss to the top of a dark gully and created a clever and courageous diversion, tricking the poachers into thinking a rival kangaroo was near, giving Mack the precious moments he needed to stage the rescue!
- The River Guardian's Plan: Faced with a massive landslip that had blocked the river, it was Chrissy's unshakeable determination that kept the team going. She helped devise the plan to use a giant log as a lever, trusting in Boss's strength and their teamwork to do the impossible and bring the river back to life.
- Confronting the Ghost Light: While others were scared of the eerie, pulsing light on the ridge, Chrissy was fascinated. Convinced it could be anything from ghosts to aliens, she led the secret night-time expedition, proving that her courage and curiosity are the keys to uncovering the most amazing secrets.
What's in Chrissy's Backpack?
Chrissy believes in being prepared for anything! Her canvas bag is always packed for action.
- A Sturdy Coil of Rope: You never know when you'll need to climb down a gully or pull something heavy!
- A Brightly Coloured Compass: So she can always find her way back (even if she says she never gets lost).
- A Well-Used First-Aid Kit: Full of bandages for scrapes and scratches, because adventures can be messy.
- A Small, Sharp Whistle: To signal her friends if they get separated in the bush.
- A Squashed Jam Sandwich: High-energy adventure fuel, probably made with Monique's famous jam.
