Bunyip

Bunyip Early settlers heard its screams Lurking in billabongs, creeks and streams A myth or real that question remains Indigenous folklore further explains Perhaps a cultural memory of an animal extinct Though the image of the Bunyip for them is distinct Bones and skulls have been found over the years Attributed to the Bunyip, adding to their fears The tales of the creature weave a story so seeming Its belief and existence a feature of The Dreaming
