For children he was cute and friendly, getting into harmless situations. Here’s hoping you make a steady recovery soon. Since its getting to be that spooky time of year again, lets kick things off with a behind-the-scenes photo of Bert after getting his fresh new paint coating earlier this year! little comment from Mod Rat: wouldn't it be cute if her name was Matilda?

For the water to be able to hide him until he is activated I think the pool would be at least over a meter deep. Brr. Sadly, I can’t seem to find footage of her in-full, but you can see a clip of her coils slithering through the water in this video (1:57 if Tumblr breaks the embedded timestamp), alongside some animatronic carnivorous plants that also occupied the attraction. The ugly looking monster did frighten many small children. If that’s the case, then guilty as charged.



A newspaper article published shortly after his death featured an interview with Lee Dexter, who noted that Sir Guy was named after the ubiquitous TV Guide - but this turned out to be just another bogus attempt to cash in on the notoriety of Dexter's puppets, and there was a protracted struggle for ownership of the puppets.

While other mods have referred to the current Bunyip as “Bert”, looking at news articles about the Bunyip from Australia will tell you that Bertha has actually been a girl since 1982, when the baby was introduced!! (He got back the shiny tips on his scales and claws!

The only photo of the baby is in bad quality, but by the looks of it, it’s for the best. The Bunyip was given a baby about 10 years after the launch... Bert then became Bertha.

The Bunyip's arm was broken off and was seen floating in the cave water, this was likely the major 'vandalization' it suffered before being replaced (see below for 'arrow holes'!) Seriously, I’m tempted to stick this under a readmore, but no one would see it. However, this is the friendlier renovation of Bert the Bunyip, implemented in 2000. Bertie the Bunyip was the lead puppet character on the popular American children's television series The Bertie the Bunyip Show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which ran from 1954 to 1966. Then the Bunyip and baby were also vandalised and part was broken off. This design is based on the Murray Bridge Bunyip, Bert/Bertha, I love how ghastly the original design was, so I had to use it. This roar could be heard up to one kilometre away.

Fun fact about our current Bertha: She’s made out of fibreglass, and her tank holds 40,000 litres (10566.882 gallons) of water!! It makes him look like a skink, which is a neat touch considering they’re native to the area. Or you could ride on him, maybe. I hope they can fix him up again soon; the latest footage of him reveals he’s completely blackened from pollution!
Kids were known to jam the coin slot with popsicle sticks, that caused the roar sound effect to play for hours, and disturb campers

Note: Bert isn’t normally on wheels like he is here; he’s just sitting on a flat cart for transport on land! Your English is fine! The word Bunyip has its origins from the Wemba-Wemba or Wergaia language of Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia. While other mods have referred to the current Bunyip as “Bert”, looking at news articles about the Bunyip from Australia will tell you that Bertha has actually been a girl since 1982, when the baby was introduced!! Here’s hoping she’s doing well, and that maybe we can see her again in the future! The Elders were not happy with this selfish man who did not respect the Ngarrindjeri laws of fishing.

He was portrayed as a brown-colored character with the ears of a kangaroo and a duck-bill-type snout. In other words, scary as you are, we love ya, Bert! For 20 cents the bunyip emerged from below the water and gave a very loud roar - twice. In times long ago there lived a Ngarrindjeri Korni (man)  who was greedy catching far too many fish than he needed to. ), even though he scares me so much i love him, https://www.flickr.com/photos/mundoo/4884933606/in/album-72157624583835235/. One home of the Mulyawonk is in a river cave near Tailem Bend. ), Welcome back, Bert! You can see one of his arms drying off in the background. Man, I’m digging that new blue tongue!

The moment has finally arrived: Bert is back home at Murray Bridge, cleaned off and up and running again! Then the Bunyip and baby were also vandalised and part was broken off. I pressed my face up to the bars and the cave it’s in went really far back too. Man, pictures of her sure are scarce, especially considering she was the most famous part of the ride. There are plenty of videos of him online before he came to this condition.

If he was visible before he emerged, maybe he wouldn’t be so bad, but the fact that he comes out of such dark water is horrifying!

Okay so here’s a Bunyip, I’ve never drawn one. Here’s a video of him working optimally, though still showing cosmetic wear. ! This seems to be a very early photo of her, since her eyes aren’t as clouded over as they appear in later images. Both of those options sound enjoyable IMO, but maybe I’m just trying to cherish every second of him being out of water due to my submechanophobia. As far as we known, there have been three Bert/Bertha animatronics, plus the baby. To the Ngarrindjeri people the Bunyip is known as the Mulyawonk. We’ve missed you lots! His name was Bert the Bunyip. Ngarrindjeri children are told never to swim alone or to take more fish than you can eat from the river and lakes. This was prior to her having a baby. No known footage remains of the original Bert, nor his added baby a few years later, but again; perhaps some things are best left lost to time. I found these two pictures online with old Bertha and her baby! It definitely adds to the creepy factor. The Murray Bridge Bunyip was built by Dennis Newell and launched in 1972. The original Bert was added in 1972, created by Dennis Newell. According to the official website, “The sound box has had many problems during its time… at one stage vandals somehow worked out how to jam it so it would continue to roar - often through all hours of the night. The Mulyawonk (Bunyip) (pronounced as Mool-ya-wonk) To the Ngarrindjeri people the Bunyip is known as the Mulyawonk. The show was produced by Sydney entrepreneur Nat Philips. (Also, I can’t tell if it’s the photo quality or if the water is murky. This one is thought to have been the first, then the one often seen with the baby is thought to be the second, and then, of course, our current Bertha is the third!! This story teaches children water safety and respect for the fishes of the River and Lakes.

© Valve Corporation. There was rumor for some time of her being left in the water; however, recent posts from the park suggest otherwise, having suggested the possibility of re-installing her if the funds are ever accumulated to operate her again.
If you do swim alone or are greedy in taking too many fish, then the Mulyawonk will get you. At the Sturt Reserve in Murray Bridge, Australia, lurks Bert the Bunyip. The sound box has had many problems during its time... at one stage vandals somehow worked out how to jam it so it would continue to roar - often through all hours of the night. sometime described as a ferocious predator and other times as a gentle herbivore

10 years after launch, Bert was given a baby to operate alongside him. For those who are curious about how deep Bertie’s pool is, here is another photo I found of his pool being drained. :0. A quieter, more friendly looking bunyip was built and his cave was revamped in 2000.”. The crocodile I saw in watermouth castle(here he is), which is very similar to Bert also comes out of really dark water and the whole cave it’s in is really dark and spooky.

The pantomime was a highly successful musical comedy that toured Australia for a decade within Fuller Brothers theatre circuit. :(, No idea of the context of this but it seems to be an earlier version of Bert the beautiful boy (you may have actually posted this before im a little behind). That being said, I feel like it’d be pretty fun to run around pushing a big, roaring bunyip animatronic like some weird parade float. I don’t know how big he is but judging from videos he is pretty dang big! Hi There, Boys and Girls! He looks better in this photo because this was taken in 2010.

(I really hope she didn’t go the way of Pleasure Island’s Moby Dick.). [2] He was portrayed as a brown-colored character with the ears of a kangaroo and a duck-bill-type snout. He is a coin-operated animatronic that rises up from underwater. Bertie's enemy was an aristocratic fox by the name of Sir Guy de Guy. I can’t look at the dang thing for more than a minute. That’s his predecessor/previous incarnation, Bertha!

He has a fresh touch-up on the rest of his paint, too! Here’s a video of him coming up out of the water: Warning for some seriously freaky stuff here, guys. The Bunyip was turned off/presumably removed in 2005 due to budget constraints.

hey that youtube description has some pretty neat fun facts on it !!

Her baby was no exception, either.
