It's very bad, and very bold, and they tell me that it's over a thousand years old. So you'd better run home quickly, and you'd better hide very soon, or the Bunyip's going to get you, in the Bunyip moon
I'm not going out into the bush at night mate! What if the bunyip is out there!?

The bunyip stole my lunch when I was picnicing by the waterhole.

The bunyip stole my virginity as I slept by the waterhole...

bunyip girl 

A term originating in Australia that refers to an obscenely viscious, repugnant and unfortunate female. A bunyip girl may well have a face that resembles a bat ravaged mango, hair in indecent places, and commonly needs to be told to put the fork down. Also known as a swamp donkey.
Lookout for that filthy bunyip girl, she's got a head like a busted gumboot and preys on lonely bushmen.

bunyip aristocracy 

"Bunyip aristocracy" is an insult used to refer to those Australians who consider themselves to be aristocrats. See Wikipedia entry for more information.
"Given his predilection for the bunyip aristocracy, it's surprising that Big Jim Byrnes's education does not seem to have extended to the age-old adage 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'."
