Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song

"Goodbye Blinky Bill" is a song written and recorded by John Williamson with Bullamakanka and John’s daughters Ami and Georgie. The song was released in a limited edition in March 1986 as the only single from Williamson's 1986 compilation album All the Best.

The song is a conservation song, raising awareness of the decline in numbers of the Australian koala due to deforestation of eucalypts trees; with reference to an anthropomorphic koala named Blinky Bill. A$1 from each sale was donated to the Koala Preservation Society in Port Macquarie.[1][2][3]

The song has been covered by The Wayfarers.[4]
