Bunyip is the monster that can be found in Australia.
In order to catch Bunyip, the player must complete the quests given by Steve. In his final quest, Steve asks the player to buy some monster bait from Broken Rod Anglers Store (however, this is not necessary to catch Bunyip) and tells the player to catch Bunyip in the central coral reef area and near Devil's Island. After having caught Bunyip, the player must return Bunyip to Steve to complete the quest and earn the Bunyip badge.
Bunyip can be caught in the day around the central coral reef area and near Devil's island. using the cast-and-wait method. Monster bait can be spread in areas where monsters can be caught; the presence of bubbles on the water surface indicates the monster is nearby. It is recommended to equip at least a Carbon Rod, ideally a Monster Hunter Rod, as well as Temporary Luck to increase the chances of a successful catch.
While waiting for a monster to bite, if Coco says "Patience...", it means that the spot is correct, and the monster will likely be caught on the next cast.
