What Lurks Beneath Australia’s Waterholes? | Ep2

What monster haunts the hidden waterholes of Australia—and why do the locals still whisper its name at sunset? Journey into the heart of Aboriginal myth with the chilling legend of the Bunyip: a shape-shifting, night-dwelling beast said to prowl the swamps, billabongs, and rivers of the outback. In this episode, we dive deep into the Bunyip’s eerie origins in the Dreamtime, explore the bizarre and shifting details of its appearance, and unravel its place as both a terrifying predator and a supernatural guardian of wild places.

Learn why the Bunyip’s hypnotic gaze was feared by generations, how its unearthly roars still echo in the folklore of the land, and what secrets the Songlines hold to keep this creature at bay. Are you brave enough to look beneath the surface? Tune in for a story where myth and reality blur, and discover why some legends are better left undisturbed.
