The developers of Bluey's Happy Snaps posted a new screenshot from the game and said there was something hidden in the picture. Turns out it's a Long Dog! (second pic)
Hopefully there are lots of secret long dogs to find in the game. Would be great to have a special achievement for tracking them all down.
In Australia, one of our local supermarkets (Coles) recently had a promotion with a bunch of Bluey items. I had my eye on the Duck Cake cookie jar, but figured it would have sold out ages ago.
Was in Coles today doing some grocery shopping and I figured I'd check to see if any of the Bluey gear was still there. It was my lucky day, because it was all on clearance!
So stoked to have this. Now it will become a treasured family heirloom. 🦆
I live in Brisbane and we're often really proud of being the home of Bluey. So sometimes you see little Bluey references around the place, like this adorable street library that's been designed to look like the Heeler House!
For anyone who has never seen a street library, they're usually a little cupboard where you can swap books with the local community. A pretty nice way to donate your old books with people who might enjoy them.
Our little girl just turned 6 months old and will be starting water soon. My wife found this in a toy shop we visited and had to get it! Wonder if there is a matching Bingo one too?
I've lived in Brisbane (where Bluey is set) for about 10 years, and one of my favourite parts of the show is seeing all the real locations across Brisbane that have been featured in Bluey. It's always great to recognise them in the show too!
Here's a few comparisons with some of my favourites:
- Mt Coot-Tha, a beautiful lookout on the edge of Brisbane that features throughout The Sign episode. Managed to find the exact spot with these lookouty binoculars. Almost identical!
- South Bank, one of the most recognisable locations in Brisbane, and a really popular tourist destination. It's in a few episodes, but mostly in Ice Cream. I had a browse through Google Maps and found the exact bench in this image.
- New Farm Park, a really lovely spot along the river with a big rose garden (my wife and I go to the markets there sometimes). It seems to be one of the main locations in Bluey's Happy Snaps, especially with the rotunda in the background.
- My favourite of them all: Hammerbarn! Bunnings is a super popular hardware store here in Australia, and it's awesome that it's become so connected with Bluey. They often have crossover merch in stores now - pretty sure you can buy the watermelon rug there at the moment!
Would love to see which real spots from the show are your favourites 🙂
A friend of mine just told me about the Queensland Games Festival, which is a free games event on this weekend in Brisbane: https://www.queenslandgamesfestival.com/
Turns out one of the games in the showcase is the new Bluey game coming out later this year! I really enjoyed playing through Gold Pen a few months ago, so I'm really keen to see another Bluey game so soon.
Will try and go this weekend to see what it's like. If there's anyone else here from around Brisbane, it might be worth a look. Nice excuse to spend a day at New Farm too!
After seeing the post a few days ago about the Bingo City Dog, I figured I would share this picture I took a couple of months ago of the Bluey City Dog. Managed to take a picture right as it was passing by the Story Bridge - an iconic spot in Brisbane. 🌉
You can see the Story Bridge in the background of some Bluey episodes, especially from the balcony in Bluey's house.
Storytime!
A few years ago when I started watching Bluey, I managed to track down one of the limited edition Record Store Day editions of the Bluey Album (it's a picture disc with the Watermelon rug on one side and Kiwi rug on the other side). I really enjoy the music from the show, so I really wanted to get it signed by Joff to make it an extra special item.
After showing the album to my work colleagues at the time, it turned out one of them knew someone on the Ludo team and was able to put me in touch with Joff. Eventually, I was able to get the album signed and even briefly meet Joff - he was absolutely lovely. :)
Also, he wasn't sure what to write on the album, so I specifically asked if he could sign it with "Wackadoo!"
Would love to get this signed by some more of the Bluey team one day.
Hi r/bluey community! First time poster - I've been browsing the subreddit for ages now and figured it was about time to finally make an account. :)
Missed out on these Bluey coins when they released a little while ago. Finally managed to track down the set and they're so gorgeous! Didn't manage to get the coloured Sleepytime coin, but still really happy with it.
Do you have any other Bluey coins? I'd love to see more of them!
