In this Australian children's adventure, a young teen attempts to prove the veracity of an Aboriginal fable about a monster that lives in a local lake.
14 year-old American kid Cody Walpole has been forced to go and live in the Australian Outback with his father’s best friend following the death of his parents. Cody is an enterprising inventor. He and two local sisters trek up to the lake near an old disused mine, which is said to contain the Donkejin or Bunyip, a creature from Aboriginal legend. When the girls drift out onto the lake on a raft, Cody jumps in to save them but they are attacked by a saurian monster that rises to the surface. Escaping and returning to town, Cody starts to research into ‘kadaicha’ or Aboriginal magic, and determines to return and confront the ‘Donkejin’.
