Frog Dreaming
An American boy, Cody (Thomas), whose parents have died, lives in Australia with his guardian, Gaza. Cody is very imaginative, inventive, and inquisitive. He builds things in his garage, including a railbike which he uses to get around. Cody comes across some strange events happening in Devil's Knob national park associated with an Aboriginal myth about "Frog Dreamings" and Bunyips, terrifying water monsters that prey on humans. Cody tries to investigate. The occurrences revolve around a lake where a bunyip the locals call "Donkegin" supposedly lives. Another myth explored by the children is the story of the Kurdaitcha Man who acts as a sort of Australian version of the Boogey Man as well as a supernatural judge who deals out punishment. The children are told that he punishes any wrongs done according to the laws of the ancient Aborigines including harm to one another, murder of animals without need for food, and destroying the environment (his appearance being most notable according to myth when white men came). The Kurdaitcha Man supposedly wanders the countryside, specifically at night, and wears shoes made of Emu feathers in order to cover any tracks.

@NoBoDe - my long-lost friend U. (who died from suicide many years ago and - I still miss him) - was a bit of a sailor owned a boat, owned a 'dive Shop - and he returned once from a holiday telling this story of a small motor boat, which began just going round and round in circles, the sailor had fallen off, got knocked, drowned - the boat kept going in circles and it was named 'Kurdaitchaman' -
have never forgotten that.
One should not play with superstitions, even if one is modern and progressive.
