The Bunyip is a mythical being said to punish those who approach Australian waterways at night
If someone comes in the front or back door, they must leave by the same door
Enter and exit a house through the same door to avoid bad luck
Don’t leave baby clothes out on the line overnight or devils will wipe their mouths on them
If it rains on your wedding day, it’s good luck for a smooth and prosperous marriage
