trantylope


a big hairy spider: My grandmother (from Peterborough, mid-north SA) and mother would say "Get a broom, there's a trantylope on the wall".

Contributor's comments: When I was a kid in a public primary school (mid 80's) in country NSW we learnt a poem/song about a tryantiwontygongolope which was a big hairy spider which could perhaps be related?
