This is a lesser-known book by the author of The Nargun and the Stars.
A bunyip is a mythical Australian beast, which lives in a waterhole and scavenges unwary travellers or animals. Unlike the book about the Nargun, we do not actually get to meet a bunyip but three children playing on a station have fun and excitement daring each other to visit the bunyip hole and playing various tricks.
Good for pre-teens and anyone interested in Australian life.
Try Mary Elwyn Pachett for stories of growing up on a station, or Reginald Ottley, or Elyne Mitchell.
