NEVERTHELESS--The Austraaalians I met said Fizzgig meant a mythical monster
in the outback.  Bunyip was another variety of boogie man, as was the yowie.
The draftswoman who told me had spent years living in tents in the mining
areas.  Perhaps slang and usage varies.

My brother's sailboat/home in Port Neches, TX, is guarded by a Bunyip,
by the way--a fierce chow dog.
