Torquay




Torquay is Australia's surfing capital.  Two of the world's biggest surf brands were conceived here:  Rip Curl and Quicksilver.  The picture above is Mindii- the great powerful snake - a law keeper under the command of Bunjil, the mighty wedge-tailed eagle.  Here within the Kulin nation, tribes feared the disease and death inflicted by Mindii's poisonous hiss.  Mindii and/or it's smaller helpers would hunt down those who broke tribal law.  Mindii knew of everyone and could stretch long distances to find them.
