1- Our logo is our version of the mythical
Australian creature the Bunyip. We have chosen
the Bunyip as our logo because much of the course
is through the Bunyip State Park - Aboriginal legend has it that the Bunyip lurks in
the Australian bush and emerges at night, often
with terrifying cries and blood curdling screams.
Often the Bunyip has been described as a
gorilla-type animal, varying to half human half
animal and also as a spirit. The shape, size and
colour of the Bunyip varies as much as it's
description. - However, we prefer to believe that the Bunyip has
an appealing personality that is helpful to all
travelers and embodies the spirit of the
Australian bush
