Off With The Fairies

Domesticating Bunyips (with Jenni Townsend)

Season 1, Ep. 39

You remember Yowies? The delicious and adorable chocolate monster with a toy inside? Something akin to an Australian version of Bigfoot? Well this week we’re interviewing a Bunyip which is almost as good.

Guest: Jenni Townsend

@fiberopticduck

Bunyip: An aquatic spirit of Aboriginal Australian origin, often resembling a seal or swimming dog, sometimes with a long thin neck and a large head. Also, insanely jealous of the popularity of Yowies
