Lee Robinson OAM (22 February 1923 – 22 September 2003) was an Australian producer, director and screenwriter who was Australia's most prolific filmmaker of the 1950s and part of the creative team that produced the late 1960s international hit television series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
He worked at the Daily Telegraph as a copy boy, and wrote short stories prior to the war.
[4] The high quality and Australian subject matter of these films led them to be released theatrically as support for main features.
Together with George Heath they formed a company called Platypus Productions with the goal of producing Australian films that Robinson would direct and Rafferty could appear in.
Rafferty and Robinson then formed a new company, Southern International Productions, and made the popular King of the Coral Sea (1954), which marked the feature film debut of Rod Taylor.
In 1966 he formed Fauna Productions with John McCallum to produce the television series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
