Lightning Ridge
A Catherine Wheels show created by Gill Robertson, Shona Reppe, Daniel Padden and Rob
Evans. Adapted from the book Pobby and Dingan by Ben Rice.
12 year-old Ashmol lives in the Australian outback with his mum, dad and his little sister
Kellyanne and her two invisible friends Pobby and Dingan.
One day, Pobby and Dingan disappear. At first Ashmol is happy that the imaginary friends are
out of his life, but Kellyanne becomes sick. The longer Pobby and Dingan are lost, the sicker
Kellyanne becomes. Finally, Ashmol decides that there is only one thing to do: he must find
Pobby and Dingan.
Lightning Ridge is a heart breaking and beautiful story about the possibility of dreams, about a
community coming together, the preciousness of hope and how, sometimes, we have to
believe in the impossible.
