THUNDERBIRDS. (NO. 1.)

Told by Peter York.

The old people once went to the Blue Mountains near Collingwood a long

time ago. At the end (escarpment) near the Bay a Thunderbird had its

nest. It had two young birds. They were shaped like geese, but were

naked and were about as high as a man’s chest and were of brownish red

or russet color. By and by they began to grow pin-feathers and get big.

Then they went away. The old people went over several times to see

them, and they first saw them during a thunderstorm.
