Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, an Australian TV series about a highly intelligent pet kangaroo.
Part of the charm of Lawson, 41, is that he hasn t forgotten his roots. In 2020 the actor wrote an illustrated book called
To My Country, in response to the devastating Australian bushfires. Proceeds went to The Koala Hospital, which focuses on preservation and conservation. “I refer to Australia as ‘she,’” he told
The Sydney Morning Herald at the time. “She provides for us the same way a mother would.”
That sweet sensitivity and, sure, those good looks is perfect for the role of TV producer Johnny Ryan in
The recent bushfires in Australia inflicted heavy damage across the land, destroying forests and buildings, and displacing both humans and wildlife. The fire took its toll on Kangaroo Island and the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The fire on Kangaroo Island, which was sparked by lightning strikes in December 2019, burnt its way through half of the island, destroying more than 200,000 hectares.
As part of the recovery efforts, it was decided to build a new Koala Hospital at the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park to provide refuge to a large number of koalas that had either been injured or had lost their natural habitat on the island.
