Whilst early accounts of William Buckley sighting the Geelong Bunyip abound, little has been seen or heard of Bunyips in recent years.

Perhaps this is because many of them now are more benign creatures than those of Aboriginal lore.

The Redbank Bunyip guards our front gate and keeps a benevolent eye over the front yard.

He's also guardian of the bush foods and snacks garden that's slowly going into the front of the main shed - so hopefully he won't be hungry!
