Tales from the Rugaroo Wilds
Welcome to The Rugaroo Wilds
Welcome to the world of Rugaroo Wilds, a heartfelt collection of children's books that bring our beloved Rugaroo characters to life.
These stories are woven with warmth, humour and emotion, each one gently exploring themes like friendship, resilience, kindness and imagination.
Beautifully illustrated and printed on recycled paper in Australia, they're made to be treasured, not just read. Whether it's a story at bedtime or a quiet moment during the day, these books are a reminder that the best adventures often begin with a page and a cuddle.
More stories are on the way, so check back as the Rugaroo Wilds library grows.

Rugaroo began with a little wallaby named Ginger.
Years ago, while living in the Northern Territory, our founder Dana held a wildlife permit and cared for Ginger, an orphaned wallaby whose mum had been hit by a car. For eight months, Ginger came almost everywhere with her, tucked safely into his pouch, until the day he was ready to be released back into the wild.
That little wallaby stayed with her long after he hopped away.
Years later, he became part of the inspiration behind Rugaroo. A little world filled with Australian native animals for children to love, carry with them and create stories around. Even our Rugaroo pouch bags were inspired by those months spent carrying Ginger.
It feels only right that the little animals he helped inspire can now help the real ones too.
