ARCHIVE SUMMARY

Descriptions range from animal-like water creatures to vaguely upright or human-like beings associated with swamps, lagoons, billabongs, and riverbanks. The archive includes only the records that meet its humanoid or humanoid-adjacent scope, so this card does not represent every printed Bunyip account. The accepted archive contains 12 records from 1897–2001. No regional concentration is currently coded, and the largest source group is Project Gutenberg Australia (6). These distributions describe archive coverage, not real-world incidence.
