Haha weird one hey, its the only animal that fits the description, seals are found a long way up rivers and in flooded billabongs. Aboriginals told there children that they would jump out of the water and eat them if they got to close to the water, no pool fencing back then so had to find other ways to keep the kids away from the water. This is also the victorian version, further up north the bunyip is ment to have the body of a crocodile witch equals crocodile, another reason for kids to keep away from the river banks.
That somewhat makes sense I guess! Never really thought about it like that.Yowie.. wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:31 amHaha weird one hey, its the only animal that fits the description, seals are found a long way up rivers and in flooded billabongs.

The ghindaring was a small 4ft hairy monster that only came out at night to take children only, kids stayed around adults at night that way and wouldn't wonder off into the bush.
