Additional activities/information
• The bunyip is said to be a wild and wily
creature. At night it can be heard prowling
through the bush, bellowing, grunting and
growling horribly. By day it lurks in its lair
deep down on the bed of a river, emerging
to haunt nearby swamps and waterholes,
creeks and billabongs.
• The bunyip is said to be scary. Write an
acrostic poem about a different kind of
bunyip; for example:
Best friend is a teddy bear
Understands people-talk
Never frightens children
Yabbies are its favourite food
Is frightened of thunder
Plays the guitar
