Note on production:
Henry C. James briefly discussed the production of The Bunyip after his return to Australia in 1950, a short article published in the Argus:
One of these [television plays he wrote for the BBC], "The Bunyip," has an open-air Australian theme which was difficult to set for the cameras. The producer made a realistic setting, but he used English trees, which would have set Australians' teeth on edge.
Mr. James protested and was given permission to arrange his own scene. He borrowed a photograph of the Dandenongs from Victoria House, had it "blown up" to cover the back of the studio, and draped evergreen shrubs in front of it.
