	BUNYIP : Search for Additional Symmetry
		BUNYIP checks for consistent symmetry relationships within the model which are not described by the space group.
		BUNYIP (Hester and Hall, 1996) scans the asymmetric set of atom coordinates and looks for the midpoints of any two sites that coincide with a centre (indicating the presence of an inversion), an axis (indicating a 2-fold rotation or screw) or a plane (indicating a mirror or a glide).
		If a large proportion of the possble midpoint combinations coincide with these symmetry elements within a specified tolerance, the coordinates of the centre, the equation of the line or plane is output along with the pairs of atoms that satisfy this requirement.

		The Bunyip is as strange a mystery as one could hope to find beneath the placid waters of Australia's lakes, riverbeds, swamps and watering holes.

	Professor Bunyip
		No Bunyip is at his best when hung over, and today this one can't even raise the energy to quote some of the ripe stuff at Chris Sheil's ongoing group therapy session for the bitter and delusional.
		We know, for example, that women are merciless creatures, the reason savage Apaches left the torturing of their captives to squaws, it being one thing to slice off a settler's hairpiece but quite another to gossip for hours about children and moccasins while knitting socks with the spread-eagled victims' unravelling entrails.
		Bunyip and her sisters prompts a similarly grim appreciation of the feminine capacity to slice and dice.

	Far Shores CryptoNews Story: The Bunyip: Australia's Original Shape-Shifter
		For the authors of this book, in fact, the bunyip served as a point of cultural transmission between Aborigines and white settlers: they reproduce a touching 1882 sketch showing two white children listening to an Aboriginal elder telling them about bunyip lore.
		Links between other extinct animals and bunyips were also forged; in the meantime, other, related monsters were imagined, like the yahoo or the banksia man, a frightening character made famous in Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (1918).
		Nor are some links fully pursued: for example, the connection between bunyips in watering holes and the persecution of Aborigines who took cattle from settlers (explaining the cow-like characteristics of a number of bunyip descriptions).

	The Bunyip Fairy Tale from the Brown Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang

		The little Bunyip was carried home by its mother, and after that the waters sank back to their own channels.

	The Bunyip
		I asked: "Could the mythology of the Bunyip be based in fact?" Since you don't seem to comprehend the question it states that there is mythology involved in the stories of the bunyip.
		Bunyip is hadrosaur, Nessie is plesiosaur, fire-breathing dragons are dinosaurs belching methane in an oxygen-rich environment.
		The aboriginies I know agree that the Bunyip was a myth that didn't even exist before Europian settlers, indicating that either the Euro's made it up or the aboriginals made it up to scare the Euro's.
