"Rumble the Redgum Yowie"

Say G'day to Rumble.
As leader of the Yowie Pack, Rumble is an excitable, rough and tumble character, always ready to make a stand in defence of desert and plain. Inclined to be impatient, Rumble's bark is far worse than his bite, but underneath there is a heart of gold.


Rumble


Rumble the Redgum Yowie is cousin to the red kangaroo,
Keeper of the plains and the red deserts, too.
He's dusty and crusty and looks very bold,
But beneath all that lies a heart of gold.

Ask the frillneck lizard or the black cockatoo-
All the wildfolk will tell you that this is true!

And when the sun disappears and the shadows fall,
There is nothing to show that he was there at all,
But Rumble is always watching, always there,
In the Yowie kingdom taking care.
