meet our unreal world
writing a new story through screen and sustainability fun
where the story sprouted
We begin our story by honouring the Bundjalung people, the traditional owners of the land where dirtgirlworld first sprouted. We pay deep respect to Elders past, present and future, and thank First Nations Peoples for their enduring care of the earth, plants, creatures and waters that flow through Country. Their deep connection to nature inspires everything we do.
dirtgirlworld started as an award‑winning animated series and blossomed into live action Get Grubby TV and a big‑hearted community of eco‑kids, families and nature‑loving grown‑ups. What began as a seed of an idea is now a vibrant universe of real-world stories, songs and adventures that celebrate getting outside, getting grubby and caring for our naturehoods.
Created and lovingly produced by mememe productions, dirtgirlworld continues to grow in new and exciting directions. Our world expanded into the Get Grubby Program – sustainability education resources for early childhood and primary schools that help educators bring nature play, gardening and eco‑literacy into everyday learning.
We also created Get Grubby for Families, a learn‑and‑play‑at‑home experience filled with music, nature activities and tiny actions that make a big difference in backyards, balconies and neighbourhoods.
And because we love meeting our community face‑to‑face, dirtgirl, scrapboy and Costa take the fun on the road with live shows, performances and workshops across Australia, inspiring kids to sing, dance, plant, play and care for the planet.
