Hey, hey koala kids, how's it going? I know you're probably a bit surprised to hear my voice here instead of Abby's. But don't worry, I'm only popping in for a couple of minutes to tell you some pretty exciting news, and then you can get back to listening to Abby's beautifully snoozy bedtime stories. Just thinking about them now makes me feel all sleepy. If you don't know me yet, my name's Kelly, and I tell fun-filled and adventure-packed stories over on our other podcast, Koala Shine. You can think of Koala Shine as Koala Moon's bubbly best friend, full of exciting stories that are just perfect for the daytime. And let me tell you something, have I got an exciting surprise waiting for you? Throughout February on Koala Shine, I'll be telling one story a week from our epic four-part series, Header and Sunny in the Topsy-Turvy. That's right, we'll be hanging out with our favourite doggie duo as they go on a trip to visit their friend Coco in the Koala Kingdom. But they've got no idea what's in store for them, because when they get to Sleepy Forest, they discover something dark as a foot. Green trees are turning red before disappearing altogether. Sweet candies are beginning to taste sour, and Coco's little sister, Kira, who's been acting a bit out of sorts, has suddenly vanished. Where has Kira gone? Well, it's up to Header and Sunny to find out what strange magic is at work. Their search will take them into the dark underside of the Koala Kingdom, the upside down and back-to-front Topsy-Turvy, where nothing is as it seems. They'll meet some of our oldest friends, like Chill Bill, and the roller-skating Potato and Beans, as well as brand new characters like Alma the Potion-brew in our packer. And they'll also encounter a foe more formidable than they've ever encountered before. Will they be able to save the Koala Kingdom from the threat of the Topsy-Turvy? And will their friendship be able to stand the test? Well, there's only one way to find out. Head over to Koala Shine and hit the follow button now. That way you can make sure you never miss an episode. Come join us every Saturday in February for the wildest adventure we've ever had. Header and Sunny in the Topsy-Turvy, only on Koala Shine.
