Jindabyne Council


The Jindabyne Council is made up of representatives from each tribe present in Australia - not every Garou who is on the Council leads his or her Tribe, but many do.

The Council was formed in 1901 by the Glasswalkers, who believed that such a body could revitalise the Garou population after the tradgedy that was the War of Tears.

The small town of Jindabyne, in the Silver Fang protectorate of Wadbilliga, was chosen as the location for the council because of its proximity to Mount Kosciusko, where the last Bunyip was slain.

The Jindabyne Council's charter codifies the group's theoretical aim: the protection of the physical and spiritual environments. A multitribal pack, the Children of Ngalyod, was formed to assist the council in carrying out this goal. The Ngalyod pack is named after Ngalyod, the Rainbow Serpent, the most powerful Bunyip totem. They exist to enforce the decrees of the Jindabyne Council.
