Tiddalik the Frog and The Bunyip (Part 1)
Manage episode 343088051 series 3375123
Welcome back Visitor! Take in that amazing fall view of the Northshore and set your sights for spring. We're hiking to south east Australia to learn about Tiddalik the Frog and the Bunyip that comes from Australia's First Nations Peoples. Hopefully you don't have anywhere to be but if you do, you won't be gone long. What may seem like an overnight camping trip will only take an hour in the real world so you'll be back in time before you know it!
Stick to the trail and don't feed the wildlife (no matter how cute they look!)
Today's Lunchbreak is a flash fiction piece called "Amiga Park's Marvel" by Karen Pierce Gonzalez. Find her on twitter @folkheartpress.
