Fair Dinkum, also known as Dink, is one of the main characters in Disney's 1985-1987 television series Dumbo's Circus.
Background[]
Personality[]
He is a koala who serves as ringmaster of the circus. He's the third in charge of Dumbo's Circus. He has an Australian accent. There are a few things that he is afraid of - heights (so he's scared of flying) and drowning in the water being a few of them.
Dink was the first to join with Dumbo's Circus when Dumbo, Lionel and Sebastian started out.
Dink gets along well with members of his family, including his older twin brother, Rinkum, and his younger sister, Matilda "Matty" Dinkum.
Trivia[]
- His name comes from the Australian phrase, "fair dinkum".
- Fair Dinkum being afraid of heights could be considered ironic as in real life, koalas spend most of their days up in eucalyptus trees.
