Down on the riverbank, lurking in a gloomy cave, Mulyawonk the bunyip has been terrifying small children since 1972. Press the button and see him emerge – a bald and blood-shot beast, belching and groaning, rising from the water before slipping back into Australia's collective cultural imagination. Fabulously B-grade.
