Summary Beneath a Gum tree near a large magical red rock in the middle of a Great plain lives a very elderly, venerable old Wombat called Wally (or Koala bear called Ken). Wally is slow, chews eucalyptus saves everything and does weird little rain dances. Wally seems to be a bit of a stick in the mud, he's always telling the younger animals (Joey the kangaroo Rolf the frog) off for wasting their time for indulging in water fights etc Joey and friends find the old wombat very amusing and make fun of him. (imitating his dance etc,). The summer continues and the sun shines and gradually the water runs out. Each of the animals in turn tries to solve the water shortage - digging water holes, searching under rocks, trying to carry it in their pouches etc. but nothing works. Eventually they remember old Wally's dances. Didn't he perform a rain dance? They set out to find him, which isn't easy as the 'red rock' has many secret places and get him to teach them the rain dance. Wally teaches them to do lots of silly things have nothing to do with the raindance. When they finally jump up and down in exasperation wishing they'd listened in the first place then Wally begins to laugh he clouds begin to gather and it begins to rain. The animals are overjoyed and now they all join in the dance.
