On the banks of the Mighty Coquun River
ABOUT
One day, the bowerbird family heard a strange sound in the dry rainforest on the banks of their mighty Coquun River. It was a sound not heard before, a sound a little like the striped marsh frog’s ‘tock, tock, tocking’ as it announced the arrival of rain. This sound was followed by an almighty crash, which made the earth tremble.
The Coquun is one of the First Nations names given to the river that was later to be renamed the Hunter.
This story is based on true events.
