Stories in Murray Bridge, Australia describe a fisherman who was greedy and caught more fish than needed, drying out the river. As punishment, the man was turned into a half-man, half-fish creature and banished to the depths of the river. https://bit.ly/3O5lutA The tale has played a role in educating children about the dangers of swimming alone and not taking more fish than needed. Disobey these rules and the Bunyip will drag the unfortunate to the depths of the ocean. Huge thanks to @see_us_adv
