hat’s that, Skip? Poachers? In 1967, precocious nine-year-old Sonny Hammond (played by Garry Pankhurst) began getting into scrapes in Waratah National Park, NSW, where his widowed father was the park ranger. Luckily, his best friend was. “We always look upon him as Skippy, but he did have stunt men. There was a running Skippy and a jumping Skippy. They all look alike, you see, so you couldn’t tell the difference.”
