Meet Joey, the Postie Kangaroo, fastest hops in the Rugaroo Wilds and the most important roo on the track.
Joey's no ordinary delivery roo. Dressed in his classic yellow high-vis shirt, navy pants, and trusty brown satchel, Joey bounces from one mailbox to the next with the kind of dedication that makes the whole bush feel a little more connected. He knows every track, every tree, and every animal waiting by their letterbox. And he never, not once, loses a letter.
But Joey isn't just delivering mail. He's delivering kindness. A note that makes someone smile. A letter that arrives right when it's needed most. A message that says: someone was thinking of you today.
Crafted in our signature Rugaroo plush style, Joey is a miniature heirloom kangaroo doll designed for small-world storytelling and dollhouse-compatible play. With his big heart and deeply Aussie spirit, he invites children into imaginative stories of connection, kindness, and the quiet but powerful joy of reaching out to the people you love.
Whether he's delivering imaginary letters along the Ocean Road play mat, making his rounds at the miniature playground, or arriving on a doorstep as the most charming gift a child has ever received, Joey brings warmth, wonder, and pure postal magic into every playroom.
He's the mate who reminds little ones that the best thing you can send anyone is a little piece of your heart.

The story behind this one
Kids write real letters and post them through his post box. Every single time.
Something shifts when a child meets Joey. They find a scrap of paper, write a note, fold it carefully and post it through the slot in his red post box. To a friend. To a grandparent. To someone they love.
Joey gently reminds little ones that kindness has a shape. That a handwritten note is something to be held onto. That old-school letters and penpals still carry a kind of magic all their own.
He is chosen by parents for his charm, and kept by children for something deeper. The feeling that they can reach someone, somewhere, one tiny letter at a time.
Gifted for birthdays, brought into classrooms as part of kindness projects, and sent to children who needed a quiet reminder that someone was thinking of them.
