We all know the Nessie myth does not stand alone, she lies amongst many other mythical sea and river creatures

and locally where i am from we had our own Swan River monster, reportedly 10 meters long, as thick as a football (AFL), effectively a giant eel but, no reported sightings in @ 50 years and relegated to myth status and stupidity
I once spoke to an old man many years ago while eating lunch, he grew up on the Swan, played in its waters in the 20 and 30s i guess, related how there were these eel creatures in the river when he was a kid, Guess like him, they are all gone now and just a few memories passed down
I have only heard this story once, from him, never heard it spoken of by anyone else
Aboriginal folklore is the "Wagyl" created the Swan River by slithering down the escarpment, 10 meter eel, once lived in the local river, wouldnt shock me but, no one else believe in the story
