The Bunyip, also known by the longer title The Enchantment of Fairy Princess Wattle Blossom, was written by Ella Palzier Campbell (aka Ella Airlie). The pantomime was a highly successful musical comedy that toured Australia for a decade within Fuller Brothers theatre circuit.[1] The show was produced by Sydney entrepreneur Nat Philips. The premiere of the show ran for at least 97 performances[2] and was revived several times over the following decade.
