Australia’s Loch Ness Monster?
by Murray Byfield
There have been reports are far back as the ancient art of the Dharuk tribal Aborigines of NSW of a mysterious water monster. Legend calls them “Mirreeulla” or giant water serpent. There have also been sightings of this creature in the last decade.
A popular story regarding this creature came to light in 1980’s. There was a report by fisherman in a small aluminium boat that a sea creature surfaced below their boat, catapulting their vessel out of the water and through the air over 3 metres. Other reports included boats found adrift with their occupants no where to be found and boats found smashed or overturned.
Description
It is depicted as having a snake-like head, long neck, large body, two sets of flippers with an eel-like tail. This description is very similar to the plesiosaur, which is believed to be the same creature commonly known as The Loch Ness Monster – or Nessie.
There have been reports of strange slide marks, similar to that of a crocodile along the banks of the river.
