Aboriginal myth states that bunyip's are carnivores. I'd hazard a guess that it just saw the natives as slightly more intelligent food.
The tree has withstood so much. We also have very salty soil and air because we live less than 5 mins from the beach, though according to the natives the tree has been there for 200 odd years. It's been struck by lightening and a part of it has begun rotting due to said horrid conditions, and it still stands strong.
I'm inclined to agree that the tree must have wanted to help the tribe, as much like the native Indians, they were very attuned to earth and Her elementals.
