00:00Bluey's house is one of the most detailed locations in any animated show on television right now,
00:05and most people watch every episode without ever noticing what is hiding in the background.
00:09Today, we are going through every secret, every hidden detail,
00:13and everything the show never directly points out about the Healer family's home.
00:17Before we get into the specific details, let's talk about the layout of the Healer house itself,
00:23because the house actually changes its design depending on what the episode needs.
00:27Room shift, windows face different directions, and furniture moves around without explanation.
00:33But there is a standard layout that the show keeps coming back to,
00:36and the best way to see it clearly is through the official Healer toy house,
00:40which gives us a proper floor-by-floor breakdown of how the house is actually structured.
00:45The Healer house is three stories tall.
00:47On the ground floor, you have the main living room, the big open space with the orange sofa,
00:52the staircase in the middle, and a large window behind the sofa.
00:55This is where most of the family action happens.
00:58Move up to the second floor, and here is where it gets interesting.
01:01The kitchen and dining area are both up here,
01:04which is genuinely strange when you think about it,
01:06because kitchens are almost always on the ground floor in real life.
01:09But in the Healer house, the entire kitchen, including the cabinets,
01:13the sink, and the dining table are all sitting on the second floor.
01:17And the show actually confirms this in the episode Pizza Girls,
01:20where we get an aerial view of the house,
01:22and you can see exactly where the kitchen is positioned.
01:24And then on the top floor, you have the bathroom and the bedrooms.
01:28So, the layout is living room at the bottom, kitchen in the middle, and bedrooms at the top.
01:34Unusual, but that is the Healer house for you.
01:37And talking about design changes, the Healer's kitchen is the biggest example of this.
01:41In most episodes, the kitchen sink window faces out towards the side of the house.
01:45That is the standard layout you see over and over again.
01:49But then, in the episode Born Yesterday, when Chili is standing at the kitchen sink,
01:53she is looking directly out into the backyard through that same window, the backyard view,
01:58which is completely different from every other episode.
02:00And the design does not only change in between episodes, it also changes within the same episode.
02:06Because in Born Yesterday, at the beginning, the kitchen sink was facing towards the side of the house.
02:11But the location changed between scenes because the story needed Chili to be looking into the backyard at that specific
02:17moment.
02:18And the animators just quietly made it work without drawing any attention to it.
02:22Now let's talk about the playroom.
02:24Have you ever looked closely at the rug on the floor?
02:26It is designed exactly like a kiwi fruit.
02:29And while you are looking at the playroom, check the picture on the back wall.
02:33It is a map of Australia with Queensland highlighted, the state where Brisbane is located.
02:38And if you didn't know, Brisbane is where the show takes place.
02:42It is the show's quiet way of telling you exactly where this story takes place without ever saying it out
02:47loud.
02:48Now let's move on to the girls' bedroom.
02:50Just like the playroom, the rug in their bedroom is also designed like a fruit.
02:54And this time, it's shaped like a watermelon.
02:56Between the kiwi in the playroom and the watermelon in the bedroom,
02:59the healer house has a very strong fruit theme going on.
03:02And also, take a look at the beds.
03:04Bluey's bed has an uppercase B on it because she is the oldest.
03:08Bingo's has a lowercase b.
03:10It's a small but really cute detail.
03:12Now let's talk about something most people have no idea about.
03:16Bluey has a pet, a fish.
03:18After Chili asked to have a pond built in the backyard,
03:21a small pond appeared.
03:22And inside it lives an orange fish that seems to be Bluey's favorite.
03:26And honestly, it is not hard to see why.
03:28The fish is the same color as Chili and Bingo,
03:31which makes it feel like it belongs in the family.
03:33It does not appear very often in the main series,
03:35but you can spot it clearly in the Minnesota alongside.
03:39And let's move towards the front of the house.
03:41Because if you check the healer's mailbox,
03:43we can see number two on it.
03:45So it means that the healer family lives at number two on their street,
03:49making them the first even-numbered house.
03:51Which means it is very likely that Judo lives at number one,
03:54and Lucky's family lives at number three.
03:57But neither of those things has been confirmed by the show,
04:00but the numbers line up perfectly.
04:02Let's head into the kitchen.
04:03In the corner, you can spot salt and pepper shakers sitting on the counter.
04:07And above them, what appears to be a braid of garlic hanging on the wall.
04:11Small details, but they say a lot about Chili as a cook.
04:15And in the living room, keep an eye out for a pineapple vase.
04:18That pineapple is not just a decoration.
04:20It is a tribute to Ludo Studio,
04:23the animation company that made Bluey.
04:25The pineapple is Ludo Studio's symbol.
04:27So every single time you spot a pineapple anywhere in Bluey,
04:31it is the studio quietly leaving their signature on the show.
04:34Moving into the living room, look at the area under the TV.
04:38Bandit keeps a stone there,
04:39with the imprint of a dog's paw pressed into it.
04:42And given that Bandit is an archaeologist,
04:44that is almost certainly a fossil.
04:47The preserved print of an ancient dog
04:49that stepped in mud millions of years ago.
04:51It is sitting in the healer living room,
04:53like normal decoration,
04:54but it is actually a piece of prehistoric history.
04:58And right next to a nearby plant pot,
05:00there is also the dog bone that Bandit showed the family
05:02after one of his work trips.
05:04You can even spot it in the mini-episode Archaeology
05:07if you look carefully.
05:08Also in the living room,
05:09on one side of the room,
05:10there is a framed photo of Chili's dad when he was young,
05:13dressed in a military uniform.
05:15And on the other side, near the door,
05:17there is a framed cross that appears to be the Victoria Cross,
05:20a military medal awarded to soldiers
05:23for exceptional bravery in battle.
05:25Chili's dad fought in a war
05:26and earned one of the highest honors possible for it.
05:29And the healer family quietly placed both the photo
05:32and the medal on their living room wall
05:34without a single episode ever drawing attention to it.
05:37Out in the backyard,
05:38there is a small tree with striking red flowers.
05:41That tree is called a flamboyant,
05:43and it is known for producing
05:44some of the most vivid red blooms of any plant.
05:47Bingo actually answers the question
05:49of what kind of tree it is in the barbecue episode,
05:52but it happens so quickly
05:53that most people miss it completely.
05:55And while you are looking at the backyard
05:57during that same episode,
05:59check the area behind one of the plant pots
06:01near the top of the frame.
06:02There is a wasp nest sitting right there.
06:04Bandit really needs to deal with that
06:06before one of the girls finds it.
06:08In the garage, which barely ever appears in the show,
06:11there are a few great details hiding in the background.
06:14There is a surfboard with a pineapple design on it,
06:16which, as we already know, is the Ludo studio symbol.
06:19There is also a field hockey trophy,
06:21which almost certainly belongs to Chili
06:23given how much she loves the sport.
06:25And in the corner,
06:26there is an old radio that Bandit clearly never uses.
06:29The garage only appears for a few seconds
06:31across the whole series,
06:32but even in those few seconds,
06:34the details are there.
06:35In the episode Fairies,
06:37there is a photo of Bingo on the wall.
06:39And if you look closely,
06:41Bob Bilby is right there next to her in the photo.
06:43That means the picture was taken specifically on the weekend
06:46when Bingo brought the school mascot home.
06:49The house actually changes and updates
06:51based on what has happened in previous episodes,
06:53which is an incredible level of detail for an animated show.
06:56And speaking of photos on the walls,
06:58there is one showing Bandit and Chili
07:00standing in front of the Taj Mahal.
07:02That photo was taken before Bluey and Bingo were even born,
07:05back when Bandit and Chili were traveling through India together as a couple.
07:08It is a whole chapter of their life before parenthood,
07:11hanging quietly on the wall in the background.
07:13And for this final detail,
07:15let's head back to kitchen.
07:17In the episode Bingo,
07:18there is a cabinet in the kitchen with chalk marks on the side.
07:21Those are height measurements.
07:23Chili has been quietly tracking
07:25how tall her daughters are getting over the years,
07:27the way parents do in real life.
07:29It is a tiny detail that says everything about the kind of mum Chili is.
07:34And right next to it on the wall,
07:35there is a drawing where you can clearly make out Bluey
07:38and her Canadian friend, Jean-Luc, standing side by side.
07:41A reminder that even when Jean-Luc is not in the episode,
07:45he is still part of Bluey's world,
07:47on the wall of her kitchen,
07:48right where her family can see it every single day.
07:52The Healer House is not just a background.
07:54It is a story being told one detail at a time.
07:57And as always, we will see you in the next video.
