Aborigines would, like most societies have invented monstrrs to scare children to obey directives to not stray from home where adults can make sure they remain safe. So I take most "monsters" as pure myth.
Some like the black panther are a maybe as apparently a US navy person did bring a large cat on shore , as detected. On the otherhand having seen some feral cats, they were large not panther size, but on short view from some distance, could have been judged larger than real. There certainly have been sightings and some photos that seem credible, but never conclusive including actual size. Some farm stock does get taken, but whether panther, feral cats, feral dogs,dingo or in the case of lambs, calves by Wedge Tail Eagles is not certain. At least all those are known predators taking stock.
