The tales delve into the quirky and often humorous aspects of life in the Australian bush, often featuring characters who are rugged, flawed, and realistic. The titular story features Steve Brown, a dubious bushman with a questionable reputation, who encounters a fearsome creature he believes to be a bunyip.  The opening of the collection introduces Steve Brown, depicted as an untrustworthy yet capable bush native who manages to find lost stock despite his suspicious nature among the local community. His unearned reputation leads to humorous situations, particularly when he frightens himself with tales of a bunyip after witnessing an elephant, cleverly interwoven with the interactions he has with his wife, Mariar. The narrative sets an entertaining tone, balancing suspense and comedy, as Steve concocts a panic over what is ultimately revealed to be his overactive imagination, making for a whimsical and engaging start to the story collection.
