Being Bunyip Bluegum
As an aristocratic young koala,
Bunyip was delighted to join his buddies
Bill Barnacle,
Sam Sawnoff and
Benjamin Brandysnap, as members of the
Noble Society of Pudding Owners.
This exclusive society dedicates itself to protecting
Albert, the foul-mouthed, cantankerous, walking talking pudding, who magically regenerates himself, regardless of how many pudding-slices have been served!
Bunyip's early adventures are brilliantly told in Norman Lindsay's classic 1918 Australian children’s book,
The Magic Pudding.
Fast forward to the present day, and
Bunyip is now an older, wiser and (slightly) more rotund koala bear.
Bunyip was recently appointed to the role of
Senior Research Fellow (Emeritus), at the prestigious Tooraloo TAFE.
This is a well-deserved honour, since
Bunyip is a indeed a senior, who's constantly researching all kinds of stuff, plus he's an OK fellow to boot.
In
Bunyip's plentiful spare time, he enjoys dabbling in the following activities:
- Walking
- Photography
- Wingfoiling
- Tinkering in 'The Shed'
- Collecting and restoring vintage tools
- TIG welding (not very skilfully)
- Recycling and up-cycling discarded stuff
- LAN network architecture
- Infrastructure as Code
