On the topic of cryptids, are there any Aussie cryptids and links to read?
Most of the cryptid accounts I've read are from North America (eg. Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Skunk Ape, Dogman etc.), and of course, everyone's heard of the Yeti/Abominable Snowman in the Himalayas etc.
Only thing I recall, aunt from Oz gave me a book; 'Australia's Most Dangerous Creatures'.
Everything from the Sydney Funnel Web, to Taipans and Brown snakes, saltwater crocs, blue ringed octopi, Irukandji jellyfish. I asked, "Trying to tell me not to come visit?"
P.S.
Some... cultural(legislative?) differences make the US a little unique in some ways.
One of the firearms forums I'm on, had a person post a thread about weird occurrences on his rural property. Within a short time, a couple cryptid enthusiasts popped in the thread and ID'ed some of the weird occurrences as territorial "squatch behavior.
Within the week, a whole bunch of folks had volunteered to take the time off to come to the OP's place for a Cryptid Campout/Sasquatch Stakeout, listing all the gear they had, and would bring along, including NVGs, thermal, and of course, on a gun forum, all sorts of guns, including .50BMGs.
Basically, the person who'd originally posted about the problems, could have had a large, well-armed platoon onsite in short order. No idea why they never took 'em up on the offer
they sound worse/more common than they are.
