Title: Backpackers

Season/Episode: Season 1, Episode 36

Airdate (Australia): April 10, 2019

Created & Written by: Joe Brumm

Synopsis & Recap

The Premise: When Bluey, Bingo, and their cousins Muffin and Socks discover a "good luck" trinket that Chilli explains she acquired back during her backpacking days, the kids decide they want to relive those adventures. To Chilli and Bandit's resignation, the four children strap onto their parents' backs as "cheeky backpacks" for an expedition around the garden.

The Journey & Mischief:

The children whisper game commands directing Chilli and Bandit through a strange foreign land.

Chilli is sent to track down a guidebook to book a hostel, while Bandit is prompted by an "I'm hungry" command to visit a croissant stall run by a dog-gnome vendor.

To Bandit's surprise, the accepted currency for the croissants is bananas.

The Climax: Chilli manages to secure a tuktuk ride (charged at a steep price of 300), which they desperately need when Bandit suddenly develops a stomachache from eating too many croissants and getting jabbed in the stomach by Bingo, creating an urgent need for a toilet.

Episode Recap & Highlights

The Tour Begins: Lady Gaberdene (Chilli) and toddler Snowdrop (Bingo) arrive on the deck and are greeted by Zookeeper Bluey.

Friendly Animals: The visitors stop to see a gentle, very friendly giraffe, followed by a friendly pademelon (not to be mistaken for a kangaroo).

The Big Stinky Baboon: Zookeeper Bluey warns that the next animal—the Big Stinky Baboon (Bandit)—is definitely not friendly as he reads the newspaper.

Monkey Business: The baboon blows a raspberry at the visitors before lying down for a nap ("monkey sleep!!!"). When Bluey tries to get his attention with a pool noodle, the baboon uses it to scratch his "botbot".
