Charley the echidna thought he had learnt the ways of the wild and what to do when meeting up with strangers, but he'd never been 'far away' from home, or out after dark, before.So when Joey, his young kangaroo friend, and his mother's friend, William the wombat, took him on an adventure 'far away, ' it was all very new to him. He learnt there were things called 'In-Betweens' that they had to cross and 'Bright-Eyes' that rushed at them when crossing.However, this new territory brought about the biggest adventure of all... Being away from his mother when darkness fell...

Charley's mother knew they might meet a stranger along the way and therefore needed to teach him how to keep safe. This proved more difficult than she first thought. Find out what happens when Charley meets the two-legged strangers. Does he listen to his mother's advice? And who is the little friend who is always watching over him?Learn about Australian animals including the echidna and kangaroo.
