Document, Articles on the Bunyip, 1983 - 1989
The bunyip is a large mythical creature from Aboriginal mythology, said to lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds, and waterholes. The origin of the word bunyip has been traced to the Wemba-Wemba or Wergaia language of Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia. However, the bunyip appears to have formed part of traditional Aboriginal beliefs and stories throughout Australia, although its name varied according to tribal nomenclature. Various written accounts of bunyips were made by Europeans in the early and mid-19th century, as settlement spread across the country. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip) This material was collected and used for resarch purposes by David Waldron A number of articles on the Bunyip * The Nessie Mystery Solver by Roy Fraser (October 1983) * Developers meet match (Wagyl) (The Age, 06 Jan 1989) * Narrandera's bunyips burst into tourism's limelight by Melanie Sincock (wagga Advertiser, 18 November 1986) * Hunting the bunyip by M.A. Troyahn (Australiasian Post, 06 October 1883) * Beware the bunyip, you Moomba skiers by Edel Wignell (The Age, 05 March 1982) * The yarn that grew the bunyip legend (Australasian Post, 30 December 1971) australian animal folklore collections, bunyip, bunyipswagyl, shane picket, narrandera, swan river, david waldron -

school text book, Thomas Nelson & Sons, Royal Readers No V1, 1895
... Royal Readers No V1 ...The Royal Readers had been prepared especially for Victorian schools and featured some Australian content. The authors made great use of the natural world as well as incidents and common daily events to attract children to the stories. Teachers were encouraged to teach children not only the 'art of reading' but also a 'love of reading'. Illustrations were used effectively to attract children 'through the eye' to the stories and to help them understand same. They were used extensively in Victorian schools as well as in other states. However, during the 1890s and especially the early 1900s, governments came under increasing pressure to change the reading books again because these books did not reflect the rapid scientific advances in the 1890s. Royal Readers date quickly when a new syllabus was introduced in 1905. Education materials were to be relevant to children's daily lives with a demand for greater local content. (info. from http://education.qld.gov.au)This book as an example of school work in the early 20th century. It reflects the the way reading was taught, to young children in Victoria. It reflects the changes in education in East Gippsland and is a useful comparison tool for literacy teaching. A small book with a blue fabric cover. It is titled Royal Readers No V1 and is a part of a series of Royal Readers.inside cover - E.A. Stephenson, Longford.education-texts schools-reading royal-readers -
