Brand New Show, NZ PREMIERE

Thursdays from 16th October @ 5pm, repeated weekends at 2pm

Based on the award winning novels by Booker nominated author Tim Winton, this new show to Nickelodeon NZ is tipped to be a hit! Hot surf rat, Lockie Leonard is twelve and three quarters years old. He and his family have just moved to the most remote town on earth, Angelus, Australia which means a TOTAL LIFE DISASTER for Lockie. No friends, new school and a house that is truly in danger of disappearing into a swamp…but then Lockie spots the one thing that makes it all okay, this weird little town has the best surf he has ever seen. Tune in and watch him survive his frighteningly understanding parents, a little brother who can’t stop wetting the bed, a new friend ‘Egg’ who is a heavy metal devotee and the attentions of the cutest girl in school…
