The central character in Woobinda is John Stevens, a veterinarian with a practice in the fictitious New South Wales country town of Gattens Creek. A widower, he has a teenage daughter, Tiggie, and an adopted Aboriginal son, Kevin. Stevens is assisted in his practice by Peter Fischer, a German vet, and his friend Jack Johnson, a local bushman. Called 'Woobinda' by local Aboriginals, Stevens has strong compassion for animals and is constantly striving to preserve fauna from what he calls 'senseless slaughter.'

screenplay
A selection of Australian television scripts from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Some of these had been fully developed at the time of publication (including directions and camera directions), while others were still waiting to be produced and hence contain dialogue and directions that were undergoing development.
