To be fair, all Australian things sound silly. I mean, Strewth, take a gander at this list of Aussie cryptids!

Huh. Maybe we’ll find something out from these myths. π
I’m not sure if Dingo Jack is a reliable source. He’s making up names of legendary creatures, was going to eat Java, and appears to be a few quills short of a porcupine.
I hope we get to see the Ojjiwodgepodge!!!
Ooh. Unfortunately, they were all eaten by bunyips… Bunyip is a funny word.
Is the walawakawaki related to the axolotl? Sounds like gibberish too.
They are related by marriage.
In fact the axolotl is a mexican walking fish and not a cryptid. π
It’s called a walking fish but it is actually a species of salamander that never grows up.
That’s why they’re related by marriage not by blood. The axolotl is a real creature. The walawakawaki not only isn’t a real creature, it’s not even a real cryptid. Just some syllables I made up with my wordsmithery… π
Walla Wala, Wash and Kalamazoo!
Bunyip
Bunyip literally means devil, or spirit. It is a mythological creature from Aboriginal Australia that was said to lurk in swamps, creeks, riverbeds and waterholes. Aborigines thought they could hear their cries at night. They believed Bunyip took humans as a food source when their stock was disturbed, preferably women, and they tended to blame the Bunyip for disease spread in the river area. Bunyip supposedly had flippers, a horse-like tail and walrus-like tusks. It is now said that Bunyip are a figment of Aborigine imagination, because the cries they heard actually belonged to possums, or koalas. The cries of women supposedly being captured may actually have been sounds of a barking owl.
πHeh
And bunyips is good eatin’!
