The Muldjewangk Sightings Haunting South Australia's Coorong No One Can Explain
In the mid-1800s, a paddle steamer working the Lower Murray drew close to a stretch of deep, still water near Lake Alexandrina. Something rose from beneath the boat and struck it hard enough to be felt by everyone aboard, dragging at the hull before vanishing. The crew had no explanation. The Ngarrindjeri people already had a name for it.
We're pretty much tracing the story of the Muldjewangk, the Ngarrindjeri water-being tied specifically to the Lower Murray, Lake Alexandrina, and the Coorong, the origin story of a greedy fisherman transformed as punishment, and how the tradition survives today at Murray Bridge as Bertha. Unlike a typical cryptid waiting to be proven, the Ngarrindjeri have never doubted it was there.
