The Big Bad Banksia Men are the villains of the Gumnut stories and are based on the appearance of aged Banksia "cones” – dark, hairy, knobbly, many-eyed creatures. They are always hatching wicked plots to capture the Nuts and Blossoms and Mr Lizard is their greatest enemy.
i hated those stories cause banksias are a cool bush.
they suck to climb tho.

In the spirit of reconciliation I would like to acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
