MY FIRST ENCOUNTER with a bunyip was in a School Paper, the monthly supplement to the Victorian School Readers: Eighth Book (HJ Green, Government Printer, 1928) still current in Victorian primary schools in the 1950s and ’60s. It was Andrew Lang’s version from The Brown Fairy Book (Longman, Green and Co, 1904).
