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.
