This week Kim is covering a variety of Australian Mythological CreaturesSome believe that these creatures are real, and many have been substantiated by stories, tales, photos and even videos.Many are from the dream time of Australia's Indigenous People.Some are even said to have been here before the Aboriginal People of Australia.there are some interesting tales of these two groups fighting each other.Some of these mythical creatures sound scary and there are very graphic representations of their physical appearances.I learnt a lot from this episode, so sit back and have a  listen and embrace yourself in the local culture. References:https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlife/2018/02/australias-mythical-creatures/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_folklore http://www.wanowandthen.com/mysteries.html https://www.monsterchildren.com/5-spooky-things-in-the-australian-bush/ https://abookofcreatures.com/tag/australian-folklore/ https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/12772/10-legendary-monsters-australasia-and-antarctica https://exemplore.com/cryptids/Legendary-Creatures-of-Australian-Myth-and-FolklorePhotographs and additional reading.https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlife/2018/02/australias-mythical-creatures/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_folkloreResources:https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/mentalhealth/Pages/contact-service.aspx#24-hourhttps://www.beyondblue.org.auhttps://www.betterhelp.comFind us at:Instagram: SolvedunsolvedorspookyFacebook: Solvedunsolvedorspooky Email us at: podcast@solvedunsolvedorspooky.comSupport the show
