Could you write a story that makes people see kangaroos differently? Kangaroos Alive is inviting young writers from both Primary and Secondary to get creative for World Kangaroo Day on 24 October.

Your story could be told from a kangaroo’s perspective, follow a joey growing up, explore a mob surviving a changing world, feature a rescued kangaroo, or go completely off the rails. Fantasy, science fiction, adventure, comedy, drama – it’s completely up to you.

The organisers are looking for stories that show kangaroos as more than just an Australian icon, but as animals with families, relationships, personalities and lives of their own.

The challenge is simple:

  • Theme: Kangaroos
  • Length: 800 to 1,500 words
  • Focus: Celebrate, explore, imagine and inspire.

Selected stories may be shared by Kangaroos Alive as part of their World Kangaroo Day celebrations.

Ready to give it a go? Submit your story by email to sdutkovich@alsiraat.vic.edu.au by Wednesday, 14 October 2026 at the latest.
