The Monster That Ate Canberra is a childrens book written by Michael Salmon in 1972 and became a favorite of many Canberrans ever since.

Now thanks to the hard work of Shawn Cahill you can read the book via Google Earth and explore the locations of the monuments that Alexander Bunyip munched on in the book.

The Google Earth files can be found here.

The Gungahlin Community Council with the support of Michael Salmon are currently lobbying the ACT Government to include a statue of the Bunyip as part of the new Gungahlin library.
