... the bunyip legend (Australasian Post, 30 December 1971) ... that grew the bunyip legend (Australasian Post, 30 December 1971 ...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.

Orbost & District Historical Societytobacco tin, The British Australasian Tobacco Company Pty Ltd, mid - late 20th century
The ready rubbed tobacco held within the tin was mainly used by those smokers who rolled their own cigarettes. These smokers would have mainly used their palm and formed a cup then placing their choice of the amount of tobacco to be rolled. This would then be placed on the fine cigarette paper and rolled and sealed (using saliva in the mouth) into the required shape. There were mechanical "roll you own" gadgets on the market but most rural users, especially males used their palmsThe post war depression (financially) resulted in more smokers turning away from expensive machine (tailor) made cigarettes to the roll your own, using ready rubbed tobacco. This item is an example from a time when smoking was readily accepted.Rectangular shaped tobacco tin with hinged lid.On lid -HAVELOCK Flake Cut Pure Virginia Tobaccotin tobacco smoking
