Adventures of Woody Melbourne Children's Book

Meet Woody – The Curious Melbourne Bear

Woody is a loveable, wide-eyed teddy bear with a soft golden coat, a knitted Red and White jumper, and a heart full of adventure. From the moment he tumbles out of a picnic basket at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Woody sets out on a delightful journey to explore the magical places across Melbourne, Australia.

With a tram ticket in one paw, Woody rides the City Circle Tram past Flinders Street Station, marvels at the colourful laneways filled with street art, and snacks on jam doughnuts at Queen Victoria Market. He sails down the Yarra River, waves at penguins in St Kilda, and even tries on a footy scarf at the MCG.

Every day is a new discovery — from watching butterflies in the Melbourne Museum to riding the carousel at Luna Park, or chasing seagulls along Brighton Beach. Woody’s adventures show children the charm, diversity, and fun of Melbourne’s neighbourhoods, parks, landmarks, and people — all through the eyes of a cuddly little bear with a big imagination.
