Colourful fish and sea turtles swim in bright blue water.

Text reads, “Screen Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation present” “A Cheeky Little Media production.” “Created by Tim Bain.” “Series Producer: Patrick Egerton.”

[Rock music plays]

Voices sing, OVER THE OCEAN AND
OVER THE REEF,
THERE'S A SUNNY LITTLE PLACE
CALLED KANGAROO BEACH.

Frizzy, Gemma, Neville and Pounce leap off their beds. Frizzy is a young blue koala, Gemma is a pink platypus, Neville is a hairy-nosed albino wombat with a pink nose, and Pounce is a young yellow and orange kangaroo. They ride down a slide.

[Boing, slide whistles]

The voices sing, FRIZZY, GEMMA,
NEVILLE AND POUNCE,
CADETS IN THE CLUB
SO COME ON LET'S BOUNCE .

GOOD FRIENDS SURFING
SWIMMING, LEARNING.

[Screaming, whistle blows, splash]

Bondi, an orange kangaroo lifeguard, drives a boat. Sandy, a pink kangaroo lifeguard, stands beside him. Big Trev, a yellow wombat, pilots a small submarine.

The voices sing, BONDI, SANDY, BIG TREV, TOO,
TRAINING WITH THE VERY BEST
LIFEGUARD CREW.

STAYING SAFE, BEING BRAVE,
RIDE A WAVE, MAKE A SAVE.

WE'RE HERE ALL SUMMER,
IT JUST GETS FUN-ER.

LET'S HOP DOWN TO
KANGAROO BEACH.

[Water splashes]

White text beside a logo reads, “Kangaroo Beach.” The logo features an orange three-part circle around a white silhouette of a swimmer.

Blue text on sand beneath the Kangaroo Beach logo reads, “Island Campout.” White text beneath that reads, “Written by Tim Bain.”

A voice reads, “ISLAND CAMPOUT.”

[Splashing]

Frizzy sits part way up a tree in a lifeguard station. He reads a comic book with a flashlight.

Frizzy says, THE SPACESHIP LANDED
IN A GLOW OF EERIE BLUE LIGHT.

A DOOR WAY OPENED, AND AN ALIEN
KOALA STEPPED ONTO EARTH.

"GREETING'S, EARTHLINGS.
TAKE ME TO YOUR TALLEST TREE."

Frizzy notices a light out on the water.

[Splashing waves]

Frizzy says, HUH?

Frizzy looks at a bobbing light in the water. She looks at a panel in her comic book.

[Rustling, dramatic music plays]

Frizzy says, OH, MY STARFISH.

Later, Pounce and Gemma sit side by side at a table.

Frizzy says, AND THAT'S WHEN
I SAW IT, AN ALIEN KOALA SPACESHIP!

[Pounce chuckles weakly]

Pounce says, YEAH, RIGHT, LIKE THE TIME
YOU SAW THE ABOMINABLE SANDMAN.

[Upbeat music plays, clink]

Gemma asks, OR THE OCTOPUS WITH NINE ARMS?

Frizzy says, IT'S TRUE!
I SAW IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES
ON BOOMERANG ISLAND.

Pounce says, IT'S A GREAT STORY, FRIZZY,
BUT NO ONE'S GOING TO FALL FOR IT.

[Neville shivers]

Neville says, ALIEN KOALA?

Frizzy says, UH-HUH, WITH A SPACESHIP
THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE THIS!

Gemma grabs the comic book.

[Rustling]

Gemma says, HM, PERHAPS THERE'S A
SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION.

Sandy says, LISTEN UP, CADETS,
SPECIAL TREAT TONIGHT. A
SLEEPOVER ON BOOMERANG ISLAND!

Pounce and Frizzy say, YES!

Gemma says, AWESOME!
WHAT AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEND A NIGHT ENJOYING NATURE.

Frizzy says, AND FIND THAT ALIEN KOALA.

Neville says, A WHOLE NIGHT ON
A STRANGE ISLAND?

[Neville screams]

Sandy says, YEAH, THAT'S
THE SPIRIT, NEV.

[Splash]

The cadets ride in a boat with Bondi, Big Trev and Sandy.

[Water splashes]

Frizzy cheers, YES!

Pounce says, LET'S GO!

Gemma cheers, AWESOME, WOO-HOO!

[Cheerful music plays]

Bondi says, ISLAND AHOY!
STICK TO THE RULES AND WE'LL
HAVE A BLAST.

Sandy says, STAY CLOSE TO CAMP,
DON'T GO INTO THE WATER ONCE
IT GETS DARK.

Frizzy says, IN CASE ALIEN KOALAS
ARE IN THERE.

Sandy says, NATURALLY, FRIZZ.
ALSO, IT'S TRICKY TO SEE WHAT
THE WATER'S LIKE AT NIGHT.

Big Trev says, THERE COULD BE
A RIP CURRENT OR ROCKS OR--

Frizzy says, AN INTERGALACTIC VISITOR.

[Neville groans]

The cadets, Sandy, Bondi and Big Trev arrive at the island. They disembark to a beach.

[Waves splash]

Bondi says, RIGHT-O, CADETS.
SURVIVAL SKILLS.

Sandy says, WE'RE OUTDOORS,
IT'S GETTING COLD, AND IT'S
ALMOST DARK. SO, WHAT DO WE DO?

Neville replies, GO STRAIGHT HOME
AND SNUGGLE UNDER THE BLANKETS?

Big Trev says, BUILD SHELTER AND
START A CAMPFIRE.

Frizzy picks up driftwood. She notices a shell and drops her wood.

[Snap]

Frizzy says, LOOK, AN ALIEN COMMUNICATION
DEVICE FROM OUTER SPACE!

Gemma says, THAT'S A SEA SHELL,
UH, FROM PLANET EARTH.

Frizzy says, OH.

Gemma says, THIS ISLAND'S FULL
OF FASCINATING THINGS.

WHY NOT FORGET ABOUT ALIENS AND
ENJOY IT?

[Upbeat music plays]

Frizzy says, MAYBE I SHOULD.

Bondi and Sandy tie a shelter to a rock and high five.

[Chuckling, hands slap]

A gull lands on a piece of wood in front of Neville.

[Giggling, squawking, gasp]

Frizzy stands on a turtle’s shell as she reaches for a shell on a rock.

[Grunt, giggling, rustling]

Frizzy jumps off the turtle and watches it pull itself to the ocean and swim away.

Frizzy says, WOW.

A shell washes ashore. Frizzy picks it up and a crab peeks out.

[Splashing, gasp, laughing]

The cadets get their campfire ready. Frizzy places a circle of seashells around the campsite.

[Cadets laugh]

A dophin flips in the air.

[Splashing]

Cadets cheer, WHOA! AMAZING!
THAT'S SO COOL! AWESOME! AMAZING!

[Gemma giggles, laughing]

The sun sets. Soon the campfire burns brightly. Frizzy points at a shooting star.

[Whoosh]

Frizzy says, LOOK, THE SPACESHIP'S
COMING BACK!

Gemma says, ACTUALLY, THAT'S A METEOR
BURNING UP IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.

Frizzy asks, WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT?

Sandy says, I'VE GOT GRASSMALLOWS!
WHO WANTS A GRASSMALLOW?

The cadets say, ME, ME, ME! YES!

Pounce says, I WANT A GRASSMALLOW!

Bondi says, OH, I DO, OVER HERE!
ME FIRST!

Sandy says, HEY, BACK OF THE
LINE, BIG FELLA.

Soon, the cadets cook grassmallows over the campfire.

[Insects chirp, Frizzy blows on a grassmallow]

Frizzy says, A SLEEPOVER AND
A CAMPFIRE. THE PERFECT TIME
FOR SPOOKY STORIES!

[Spooky music plays]

Frizzy asks, WHO'S GOING FIRST?

[Whoosh]

Pounce says, IT WAS TEN-FOOT HIGH,
AND HALF SHARK, HALF KANGAROO.

A SHARKAROO! OR A KANGARARK.
NO, WAIT, THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

Frizzy says, NEXT!

[Whoosh, fire crackles]

Gemma says, AND THEN, FROM THE OCEAN
DEPTHS, CAME A BOOMING SOUND.
OOH-WAH-OOH!

Frizzy asks, A SEA MONSTER?

Gemma says, NO, AN ADORABLE BABY WHALE.

Frizzy says, NEXT!

[Whoosh]

Neville says, AND THE SCARIEST BIT
WAS I'D FORGOTTEN TO PUT ON
SUN SCREEN!

[Scary music crescendos, insects chirp]

Frizzy says, OKAY, GREAT STORIES,
EVERYONE, BUT WAIT 'TIL YOU HEAR
MINE. ONCE THERE WAS A…

WAIT, DID ANYBODY HEAR THAT
NOISE? IT WAS COMING FROM OVER HERE.

[Tense music plays, click, rustling]

Frizzy turns on a flashlight and walks away from the campfire.

Neville says, BE CAREFUL, FRIZZY.

Frizzy says, THERE'S NOTHING HERE EXCEPT…

Frizzy holds the flashlight under her chin.

[Frizzy speaks gibberish]

Neville shouts, ALIEN KOALA!
I'M SWIMMING BACK TO MY BED!

[Splash]

Sandy says, HEY, HEY, HEY, WHOA!
NOT SMART, NEVILLE.

REMEMBER, YOU WON'T BE ABLE
TO SEE PROPERLY. NEVER GO INTO
THE WATER AT NIGHT.

[Frizzy speaks gibberish, Pounce and Gemma laugh]

Pounce says, GOOD ONE, FRIZZY.

[Waves splash]

Gemma says, I THINK WE CAN
SAFELY SAY THERE ARE NO ALIENS
ON THE ISLAND.

Frizzy says, YES, THERE ARE!
GIVE ME MORE TIME.
I'LL PROVE IT.

[Tense music plays]

Big Trev says, EH, NOT TONIGHT,
FRIZZY. TIME FOR BEDDIE-BYES.

Frizzy says, OH, COME ON, SLEEPOVERS
AREN'T FOR SLEEPING.

Neville says, I'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.

Soon, everyone sleeps on the beach. Frizzy opens her eyes and sits up. She looks at the water.

[Neville snores, owl hoots]

Frizzy says, LOOK, IT'S THE SPACESHIP!
COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU.

Neville says, I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

Gemma says, THERE'S NO SPACESHIP,
BUT I WONDER WHAT IT REALLY IS.

Pounce says, I'LL STAY HERE AND LOOK
AFTER NEVILLE. HE LOOKS A BIT PALE.

Neville says, I'VE GOT GOOSEBUMPS
ON MY GOOSEBUMPS.

Frizzy says, COME ON, GEMMA,
LET'S GO INVESTIGATE.

[Upbeat music plays]

Gemma and Frizzy take a surfboard.

Frizzy grabs a pack of grassmallows.

She says, YOINK!

Frizzy and Gemma paddle the surfboard out to the bobbing light.

[Splashing]

Frizzy says, TA-DA!
I TOLD YOU.

WELCOME TO EARTH, OH GREAT AND
FUZZY SPACE TRAVELLER.

Gemma says, UM, FRIZZY, I DON'T
THINK THAT'S A…

Frizzy says, COME OUT AND SAY HELLO!
WE'VE GOT GRASSMALLOWS.

[Rustling, spooky music plays, waves splash]

Gemma says, SORRY, FRIZZY, THAT'S
NOT A SPACESHIP, IT'S SOMETHING
EVEN MORE AWESOME.

Frizzy asks, MORE AWESOME THAN
ALIEN KOALAS?

Gemma says, COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU.

They move closer and look up at a rock with a glowing ring of light around where it touches the water.

Frizzy says, AW, NOT A SPACESHIP,
BUT WHAT IS IT THEN?

Gemma says, BIOLUMINESCENT PLANKTON.

Frizzy asks, BYE-BYE LOOMY WHAT-WHAT?

Gemma says, WHEN THE WATER'S DISTURBED,
LITTLE SEA CREATURES GLOW IN THE DARK.
FASCINATING, ISN'T IT?

Frizzy says, SO SPARKLY.

Gemma says, SO SCIENTIFIC.

[They giggle]

[Upbeat music continues]

Pounce and Neville stand on the beach. They stare at the water.

Pounce says, THEY'VE BEEN GONE FOR AGES.

Neville says, MAYBE THEY'RE IN TROUBLE.

Pounce shouts, BONDI.

Bondi sleep mumbles, NO NEED TO THANK ME.

Pounce shouts, SANDY!

Bondi sleep mumbles, JUST DOING MY JOB.

Pounce shakes Bondi awake.

[Insects chirp, exciting music plays]

Bondi asks, HEY, WHAT?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Pounce says, FRIZZY AND GEMMA ARE MISSING.
THEY TOOK THE RESCUE BOARD AND
HAVEN'T COME BACK.

Sandy says, MM.

[Yawns]

Bondi says, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

Sandy says, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

Sandy, Bondi and Pounce run on to the boat.

Pounce says, COMING, NEVILLE?

Neville says, MY FRIENDS NEED HELP.
YOU BET I AM.

Pounce says, ON YA, NEVE.

ROOS TO THE RESCUE!

[Whooshing, exciting music plays, alarm blares, clicking, helicopter blades whirr, beeping, engines hum]

Bondi, Sandy and Pounce shout, FRIZZY!

Nevill and Pounce say, GEMMA!

Bondi shouts, ARE YOU THERE?

Pounce asks, WHERE ARE YOU?

Sandy says, THEY COULD BE
ANYWHERE OUT HERE.

[Exciting music plays, engine hums]

Neville says, WAIT.

[Sniffing]

Neville says, I THINK I SMELL SOMETHING.
GRASSMALLOWS THIS WAY.

Bondi says, AW, NICE WORK,
NEVILLE'S NOSE.

[Engine hums]

[Splashing]

Frizzy says, OH, MY STARFISH!
WHERE'D THE ISLAND GO?

Gemma and Frizzy shout, HELP!

Neville says, THERE THEY ARE!

Gemma and Frizzy shout, HELP!

Bondi lifts Gemma on to the boat.

[He grunts]

Bondi says, ALL ABOARD.

[He grunts]

Frizzy says, YOU FOUND US!

Pounce says, ALL THANKS
TO A WOMBAT'S SENSE OF SMELL.

[Giggling]

Gemma says, AMAZING, NEVILLE.

Frizzy says, YOU FORGOT ALL
ABOUT YOUR FEAR TO RESCUE US.

Neville asks, WHAT FEAR?

[Upbeat music plays]

[Everyone chuckles]

Soon, they sit around the campfire.

Sandy says, SO, GIRLS, FINISH
THIS SENTENCE. NEVER...

[Insects chirp]

Gemma and Frizzy say, GO INTO
THE WATER AT NIGHT.

Sandy says, BINGO, BECAUSE?

Gemma says, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO
SEE THE WATER CONDITIONS.

Sandy says, THAT'S RIGHT.

Frizzy says, WE'LL NEVER DO IT
AGAIN, I PROMISE, NOT EVEN TO
INVESTIGATE BYE-BYE LOOMY…
BIO-LUMO…SPARKLY THINGIES.

Neville says, SO, I GUESS THERE'S
NO SUCH THING AS ALIEN KOALAS.
THAT'S A RELIEF.

[Growling]

Pounce, Neville, Frizzy and Gemma shout, ALIEN KOALA!

Bondi pulls the blanket to the side.

[Screech]

Bondi says, OR SENIOR LIFEGUARD.

[Big Trev snores, everyone laughs]

Frizzy skips a stone on the surface of the water.

[Upbeat music plays]

The cadets say, WOW.

Frizzy says, THE UNIVERSE IS A BEAUTIFUL,
MAGICAL, MYSTICAL PLACE.

Gemma says, SO TRUE.

[Big Trev snores]

[Upbeat music plays]

Voices sing, WE'RE HERE ALL SUMMER
IT JUST GETS FUN-ER,
LET'S HOP DOWN TO
KANGAROO BEACH.
