Fan CastingDreamtime and Dilemmas

Old Jack “Wombat” Warragul has spent his life running Warragul Wrecks, a scrapyard in the middle of the Aussie outback. He’s grumpy, stubborn, and always ready with a sharp-tongued remark, but behind his gruff exterior, he’s deeply connected to the land and the ancient myths of his ancestors. When his city-raised grandson, Eddie, is forced to move in and help run the yard after dropping out of university, culture shock is an understatement. Eddie, a fast-talking, social media-obsessed dreamer, sees the junkyard as an outdated mess, but Wombat sees it as a sacred connection to the past—especially since Dreamtime spirits keep meddling in their daily affairs. From a shape-shifting trickster dingo causing havoc to a talking kangaroo that only Wombat can understand, the duo must balance making a living with keeping the spirits (and each other) in check. With a cast of quirky locals—like Sheila, the sassy pub owner who’s seen it all, and Bazza, the overly ambitious town mayor pushing for a luxury resort—the series blends classic odd-couple comedy with heartfelt moments of cultural wisdom and a uniquely Australian supernatural twist.
