Episode 160: The Bunyip:

Long before written history found it's way to the land down under natives had been passing down the oral history of a strange creature that may or may not have existed. 

Descriptions of this creature are all over the board, some reports say it has a dog like face, while others say it has an emu like head, while other still claim it to be crocodilian in nature. 

When colonizers showed up, they figured it was just another animal for them to discover in this new land. There were numerous written reports from settlers and those traveling to this place, and this are just as varied. 

Whatever it is, the Bunyip stands as a lesson to respect the water and the power it has to give life, or to take it.
