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
