The Shaggy Gully Times

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it’s a wombat, a sheep and a dancing kangaroo –

And they’re on the front page of The Shaggy Gully Times!

The small bush town of Shaggy Gully is home to many animals, including local celebrities Mothball, Pete and Josephine.

Pete the Sheep runs a successful hairdressing salon and Josephine is a renowned ballerina. Mothball is editor of the weekly newspaper, The Shaggy Gully Times.

She also can’t spell.

This week’s edition is jam–packed with exciting news of how a small town comes together to rescue some unfortunately animals from Mr Nasty’s zoo. How did the rescue take place and will the newcomer animals fit into life in Shaggy Gully?

Read all about this and other exciting news in the punniest newspaper ever!
