Carrie finished the column with this final piece of praise for the show:

I am genuinely star struck to be the Hammerbarn employee in this quick scene with Bandit. My hero. In all seriousness, we luuuurrve Bluey, it’s imagination, it’s heart, its Aussie-ness, its celebration of playing, it’s perfect wry ability to capture the challenges and above all, joys, of being a parent. Plus it’s genuinely hilarious (the Hammerbarn ep, which is the Bluey World’s take on Bunnings, made me LOL) Simply put we, like everyone, are a big Bluey house. When the chance came up to be part of it, there was only one possible response: whackadoo.
Zoë also shared the news to fans via her Instagram story. The Go-To skincare founder and author called the Bluey guest spot a “genuine life highlight”.

Robert Irwin
The 19-year-old Wildlife Warrior voiced a character in Bluey in 2022.

In a season two episode called The Quiet Game, Bob voices a toy store clerk named Alfie.
Robert says he tapped into his knowledge of dingoes at the zoo and his own pet pug to get into character.
“I feel like I have a lot to draw from,” he says. “I definitely know the mind of a dog quite well. And it was fun to sort of step into those shoes.”
Robert says Blue Heelers, also known as Australian Cattle Dogs, are smart and natural herders.
“They’re really these amazing, intelligent, loyal working dogs,” he says.
“If you’re going to adopt a Blue Heeler, you definitely want to be ready for a very energetic dog.”
