点评:No visit to Murray Bridge is complete until one has visited the home of iconic mythological character – the Bunyip. Based on the stories from the Ngarrindjeri, local indigenous peoples. According to the infosignage one of their own took too many fish from river transgressing their beliefs. He was turned into a Mulyawonk – half-man and half-fish and banished to the river forever.
This depiction of the Bunyip or Mulyawonk has fascinated people for ages and the Bunyip has become an entrenched part of Australian folk-lore. The site is in a half tank shed, with suitably murky water and dark shadows. Bertha, the Bunyip appears with appropriate sounds and the rippling of the water. The trigger to appear is the button at the top of the steel mesh fence that contains this mysterious character in her cave. Her cave today on the banks of the Murray River at Sturt Reserve Murray Bridge.
A must to visit, especially with the kids, to enjoy this slice of Australiana.
翻译:如果您没有参观过标志性神话人物 Bunyip 的故乡,那么对 Murray Bridge 的游览就不算完整。该故事以当地土著民族 Ngarrindjeri 的故事为基础。根据信息标牌,他们中的一个人从河里捕捞了太多鱼,违背了他们的信仰。他被变成了 Mulyawonk——半人半鱼,被永远放逐到河里。
Bunyip 或 Mulyawonk 的这种描绘让人们着迷了好久,Bunyip 已成为澳大利亚民间传说中根深蒂固的一部分。该遗址位于一个半水箱棚内,水浑浊,阴影暗淡。Bunyip Bertha 会伴随着适当的声音和水的涟漪出现。按下钢丝网围栏顶部的按钮即可出现,这个神秘人物就在她的洞穴中。她的洞穴今天位于 Murray Bridge 斯特尔特保护区的 Murray 河岸边。
一定要去参观,尤其是带着孩子,享受这片澳大利亚风情。
