An indirect object is the shortened version of a part of a sentence that ends with "to" or "for." For example, "I gave the doll to her" would become "I gave her the doll." Therefore:

1. In Australia, the shops sell them emu-callers.

2. We bought ourselves a tiny stuffed wombat.

3. We gave her a book about wombats.
