Coogee and the Coast

Since the beginning of time, cultures have created and shared myths as an act of storytelling. As the years, decades and centuries go by, these myths never go away but are passed down from one generation to the next. Here at Coogee and the Coast, we aspire to be storytellers and maybe even myth makers. This episode offers three mythical tales that you may or may not have heard before.  Enjoy!
