Summary

"The "Tallong Bunyip" appeared in a reputed denizen.of a lonely pool in the Shoalhaven.river, difficult of access, and with.ages of tradition behind it. It is.situated near Rose's Crossing, a.place that was shunned by the.blacks, who said that "big feller bun-.yip sit down there.".A French-Canadian recluse used.to live in a small hut in the vicinity,.and often fished in the pool. His.body was found in it, and rumor had.it that the mystery beast had.dragged him in. This animal was.said to have a piglike snout and a.body as large as a horse.".trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/116272734?searchTerm=b...
