Bunjil the Creator watches over us all

What religion do people follow in Australia? Christianity? Judaism? Islam? Buddism? Hinduism? Atheism? The answer is none of the above. Sure, there are some followers of all those religions in Australia, but the Official State Religion is something else entirely.

No, the only state-sanctioned god in Australia is that of Bunjil the Eagle, who guides us beneath his sacred feathers and pecks out the eyes of evildoers. In recognition of this, the Victorian Government commissioned a new statue to be built in Bunjil’s honour.

This pic shows Bunjil perched above Wurundjeri Way, watching out for evildoers, or just keeping an eye on the traffic.
