I love these episodes!
- Shadowlands - Bluey and her friends are immersed in cool shade, which they play in to keep out of the heat, but they have to cross their new shadowy world if they want to get back to their mums at their picnic. Playing in the shade is cool and comfortable, especially if you're wearing sun cream and want to escape the hot sun. You can imagine along with Bluey, Coco and Snickers that parts of their shady world are things like lakes, ponds and tightropes. Alternate name: Cool Shade.
- Fruit Bat - Bluey drifts into a dream where she is able to fly, eat fruits and hang upside down. The episode represents the freedom of being able to dream anything, including the fun of flying and the joy of being a different animal entirely, as logical explanations tell you that you can be whoever you want. Alternate name: The Night Guardian.
- The Creek - My FAVOURITE episode of Bluey! Bluey, Mackenzie, Bingo and Dad explore the local creek and find a new way to be at one with nature, escaping the basics of modern life and going back to the simple times when playing by the water was the law of nature - in fact, play is the only law of nature. In the cool lake, Bluey, Mackenzie and the others indulge in their own Aussie Garden Of Eden, skimming stones, making a dam and sailing boats on the lake. I love nature, so this is why I love this episode. I want to visit the creek. I do, I really do! Alternate name: Soothing Naturals.
- Camping - Bluey and her family go on a camping trip, and Bluey, looking like she's been abandoned here and left to fend for herself, meets a French labrador named Jean-Luc. Australia is all about diversity, so Bluey and Jean-Luc may look different, but through playing at surviving in the wild and hunting Bluey's own dad they learn to trust each other and each other's instincts, almost as if they're going back to the days when Aborigines roamed the outback. My favourite scene is Bluey's first night in the site, where she's sitting round a campfire eating marshmallows and talking with Mum, Dad, Uncle Stripe, Aunt Trixie, Muffin and Socks, while Jean-Luc is having a proper table dinner with his mum and dad. It's here that you can see a big difference between people in France and people in Australia, but inside, we are all the same, and the joys and challenges of life are universal. Alternate name: Survival.
