Mr. Wombat is Blinky's mentor. He doesn't like it when Blinky calls him Wombo.
Mr. Wombat is a friendly but smelly old wombat who lives in a trash-filled burrow out on the desert plains.
Mr. Wombat has been living alone for so long, he has started to go a little bit crazy.
He makes 'friends' out of spare parts he finds and talks to them as if they were alive – something Blinky and Nutsy find odd, but charming.
Mr. Wombat knew Blinky's parents and has been on many adventures with them in the past.
Above all, Mr. Wombat has a huge heart to go along with his huge frame. He is fast to laugh and always ready with a joke or a good yarn.
Bio[]
- The most important of the adult character to Blinky and his gang. Wombo is the unofficial village elder, and the repository of all local knowledge, history, and lore. Despite being very old (no-one knows how old he is) and slow, he still has all his faculties and is a harp.

The New Adventures of Blinky Bill[]
TBA
Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala[]
He is first seen dancing in the opening sequence. Ruff saved with a wheel-barrel. During the trek to find a new home he found a pan-flute and eventually he decided to stop and rest, where he was found by Nutsy and an amnesiac Blinky Bill. Upon hearing that Blinky has lost memory Wombo refreshes him: stating that he had given Blinky his name and that Blinky was a mischievous prankster (Wombo himself was pranked by him once), and Blinky felt horribly ashamed. He later arrives at the camp where the rest of Green Patch was staying and heard Blinky planning to go to the Wood Chip Mill to find his mother, which he objects but Blinky refused to accept his loss. He was later seen listening to Blinky's story of the mill and that Nutsy was stuck there. Wombo offered a plan to have Marcia infiltrate the mill to search Nusty (though the marsupial-mouse wasn't all that keen in the least). He was last seen listening in on Marcia's findings.
Blinky Bill's White Christmas[]
He was seen dressing up as Santa but was a little too fat for the jacket. He also demonstrated what Christmas was like in the northern-hemisphere; around winter with a lot of snow (unlike Australia where Christmas is in the summer). After Blinky and Flap try to help him get the jacket buttoned all the way and briefly succeeded until the button snapped and destroyed Mr. Wombat's snow-globe, despite Blinky's attempt to save it. He was then seen with Mrs. Platypus, Mrs. Koala, and Mayor Pelican wondering where Blinky and Flap were. At night he finally was wearing a Santa jacket that fits, when Blinky and Flap returned with the poacher's truck Wombo, currently unaware hid in the foliage with everyone else, until they saw them and Blinky presented him with he plants he and Flap were given by the giant wallaby baby, which stunned Walter. He was last seen joining in Miss Magpie's orchestra.
