Have you ever bet on a Bettong, taken a punt on a Potaroo or put a wager on a Rock Wallaby?
If not, Aussies will soon have the opportunity to do this whenever they play ‘OnyaWallaby’ a brand new Travel Quiz and Board Game created during the Covid Lock down by Emerald resident Peter Cook.
OnyaWallaby is designed for use ‘out bush’ by family groups on camping holidays or by grey nomads travelling around Australia. It can be used around a camp fire or in a caravan, a motorhome or a tent. All up it could be a great travel companion.
OnyaWallaby is versatile because it can be played by just one person or up to twenty players made up of 4 teams of 1 to 5 players. It also offers variety with 30 different quizzes plus an ‘OnyaWallaby4 kids’ option on the website.
One reason to ‘get onyaWallaby’ is that it looks great. The folding game board is 100 per cent locally designed by Graphic Artist Tracey Roberts plus most of the printing was also done locally.
When asked why play OnyaWallaby, Mr Cook said Australia might be “girt by sea” BUT there is enjoyment to be had exploring not just our coastline but ‘Australia all over’. Playing OnyaWallaby can help you do this.
He added Much can be experienced while ‘on the road’ during the day.
Extra can be can be learnt about this ‘wide brown land’ when playing OnyaWallaby at your camp, at night.
Overall, Mr Cook thinks OnyaWallaby has potential benefits that we could all enjoy – they include:
– It gives you food for thought
– It can make travel more rewarding
– It can help build interest in where you are going and where you have been
– It can help grow your bucket list

– It can be the source of camp site interaction and banter
– It can help make camp sites more interesting places to be

With OnyaWallaby you can expect the unexpected!
