The Story
Bunyip, the gentle guardian of the land, has sworn an ancient oath to the Rainbow Serpent to keep peace. But when a power-hungry Tick rallies the warlike Mountain Devils and Big, Bad Banksias to take over, chaos erupts! Refusing to fight violence with violence, Bunyip teams up with a wise Medicine Man, a fearless warrior, and a noble queen to outsmart the bullies—without throwing a single punch!
Through clever tricks and cunning wit, Bunyip proves that true strength lies in wisdom, not force. Ultimately, even the Tick and his gang of bullies learn their lesson: greed leads to defeat, but kindness wins every time!
