A Wanderer’s Tale - Celebration of the Century

A bush wanderer exploring the native Australian bushland is approached by a Cockatoo who kindly asks for the wanderer’s assistance.

The protector of the area, a Crocodile, is turning 100 years old and all the local resident animals want to craft a ceremonial crown to present to her at the Celebration of a Century billabong gathering, before dusk.

Unfortunately, the animals cannot do it in time without the wanderer’s help!
