Cryptozoology Yowies

[nicky]

I believed these were mythological creatures but over the years i have been hearing stories and anecdotes that yowies are very real. In some towns in NSW and Qld yowies are accepted as real by farmers and police.

"The bloody yowies ripped out my fence again"

Have you heard any realistic stories about yowies ?

 

[Present Not Past]

When the original Australian Aboriginals settled in Australia they considered the continent as terra nullius.
As a consequence we don't really know the history of what was originally here because they kept no records - it was all oral history.

The Woodarchie incident back in primary school was big news amongst the kids at the time.

Is there a link or something to this story?

I think it's some fairly obscure mythical creature in Noongar culture, like a miniature version of a Yowie iirc.

The school I went to backed up on to a small piece of bush-land, not really a 'story' just a made up hoax by a couple of indigenous boys that grew some legs and stirred some of the white kids up into a freenzy.

Find it both interesting & fascinating how so many ancient cultures share of & partake in the myth of the hairy Wildman.....The Tibetan's have their Yeti or Abominable snowman for instance; While the North American Indians have Sasquatch or Big Foot, to match the Australian aboriginal Yowie.

There are many such other instances found in other cultures throughout the world....Here's a link to an article that covers many of them.

I actually lived with an Aboriginal bloke, who spent a fair amount of his childhood roaming the Queensland forests, who swears blind that they are real.

Yep have met aboriginals that refer to them like we refer to cats.

Not only that i know of white people that swear they are real.

Indeginous Australians have a good sense of humour and often like taking the piss with white people.

The Yowie is only one of a number of mythical creatures that populate the oral traditions of Aboriginal culture....The Dream-time serpent being the most obvious, common & prolific among them....However there is also the Bunyip.

Unlike Yowies however, Bunyips tend to lurk besides watering-holes, be they creek-beds, swamps, billabongs, or lagoons.....Whereas the Yowie is more attenuated with the 'outback' & tend to dwell in forests.

Both of these mythical creatures derive their origins from East Coast Aboriginal tribes.....The magical metamorphic process of creatures turning into other creatures or human into creatures & visa-versa is dotted throughout Aboriginal folklore & mythos.

The word Bunyip comes from a Geelong translation by none other than William Buckley.
Jilong natives showed Buckley the "bunyip" in Wordi bollock ( my translation).

The Ormeau Yowie had a reputation for being grumpy and a real dislike of people
