WILLIAM BUCKLEY AND THE BUNYIP
_______________
William Buckley was an escaped convict who lived with the Wathaurong aboriginal tribe in Australia for over 30 years in the early 19th century. During his time with the tribe, he encountered a creature known as the bunyip. According to Buckley's account, the bunyip was an "extraordinary amphibious animal" with grey feathers covering its back and about the size of a full-grown calf. Buckley also claimed that the bunyip was believed to have supernatural powers and was a common sight along the Barwon River.
“He [the Bunyip] made his home in the deep waterholes and the rain forests, lurking in the gloom by day and roaming the earth by night during the time of darkness. He brought fear to the tribes, threatening to devour any human he might meet.”
~ William Buckley, The Life and Adventures of William Buckley, 1852
