Concept and creation

Fictional history

Gerald Symons was an eccentric hobbyist, drawn to the Australian outback in the 2000s by the allure of a new goldrush. Gerald's life took a fantastical turn in the 2020s when, in his quest for wealth, he accidentally shattered a crystal geode with his pickaxe, releasing the ghostly figure of Aurora Australis, one of the last emus to be "sealed away" during the Emu War of the 1930s, effectively wiping out the entire species.

Initially, to explain her appearance to others, Gerald referred to Aurora as his pet, but as their bond deepened and they embarked on various adventures together, he soon started addressing her as his partner. Together, they tackle a wide array of challenges, helping people out by solving mysteries, fighting crime, and resolving disputes.
