An A to Z of Animals For Anna: B is for BUNJIL

According to my understanding of the lore of the Kulin people of South Central Victoria in Australia, Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle was the Creator Spirit and protector of The Natural World.

I believe that is possible that my grandmother, Clarissa Fox, was a granddaughter of one of the Aboriginal cricket team of 1868. I cannot prove it. But I feel it to be true. Most of those sportsmen came from Western Victoria.

Earlier this year before she died, Anna Rumaderun said she really wanted Bunjil to be letter B in this series.

I honor the wishes of my departed best friend as best I can.

As I recall saying to Uncle Larry of the Warthaurong people on 9/11/2022, when he was being threatened with arrest outside a major Melbourne church: “Bunjil watches over us.”

An A to Z of Animals For Anna: A is for Antelope

This series of posts is created to honour the memory of the recently deceased young mother Anna Rumaderun of Indonesia.

She was my best friend. Her one child is named after me.

Rest In Peace, Anna.

You will not be forgotten.
