Wutiyeti: Bunyip from Ackle Bend - This Place

The Wimmera River is known as Barengi Djul in Wergaia language spoken by the Wotjobaluk people. Along the water, not far from the township of Dimboola is a special place known as Ackle Bend or Wutiyeti which means camping place, and is also known for its stories of Bunyip.
The 'This Place' project invites Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to create a short video about a place name, and the story behind it.

[@bonfyre4711]

Could the bunyip be a an ancient megafauna?

[@tibbs964]

Potentially, we might just never know. Some people think that bunyips are really seals who came downstream from the sea.
