With all the news from the US this week regarding the alleged finding of the body of a BigFoot I thought I would show you all some evidence of the Australian Yowie.  It's in two parts 8-)

We where camped on the Darling River fishing..and after a big night.. I got up early for a hit and miss and in the half light. I could seen a Youie...coming out of a tent.. as it turned out it was my mates mother in law backing out of the tent in her nighty...shock horror. I have never fully recovered and must have medicine every day.

Might have been an opportunity missed Muzz ;D ;D ;D

Robbo

Hi,
I 'm new here, the topic caught my eye and I joined COCIA so I could participate in the forum.
My interest in the topic really is a quest I have been on for 17 years, I have had 4 sightings of these animals and have collected more evidence than most people doing research on the bipedal animals whether it be bigfoot or Yowie.
I have the pictures and the evidence that proves these animals are here in Australia living its life in some of the remotest country we have to offer , I will post some evidence as I continue with the forum
""THEY ARE HERE"

Don't know what all the fuss is about - we Queenslanders often capture them an cook em in our camp ovens... in fact one is a member eh Aart!!!


Grrr!!! ;D ;D

Here is one photographed near Kilcoy (North West of Brisbane)

Mind you, they aren't all hideous :o

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/troyk_photos/P7230049.jpg

There is a place on the Murrimbidgee called Darlington Point, at Darlington Point there is a place called the Bunyip Hole. Bunyip's eat children.... The ledgend says the a Aborignal woman was there with her baby and there was a splash of water and the baby was never seen again. :o

Ya evva tried plucking one of those things?

Didn't think so....

Grrr!!! ;)

SO YOUR A NONE BELIEVE, THERE ARE MANY OF YOU.

No I would not say that at all!!

Look at my signature text at the bottom of the page - it says it all but the big ones are very hard to pluck as I said...


Grrr!!! [smiley=chef.gif]

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Robbo

And they like little white boys from Cairns  ;) ;) ;)

Oooh!!! That is just SOoo thoughtful of them...

Don't ya think so... they must be Queensland Yowies eh but!!

Grrr!!! ;D

I have heard all the wise cracks, since I"ve been researching these animals so I'm over the stupidity, if anyone is interested in wanting to no more about these animals contact me on yowiie@hotmail.com
AS I said I have the proof these animals are here, has anyone wondered wher the picture I posted come from, it is legitimate I captured that picture around Xmas on atrail came in one of my research areas.
Anyway as I said I'm over the wise cracks.

With all due respect Yowwie to your research etc lighten up a bit and don't take it as a personal attack mate. The picture you posted is about as clear as mud so if you expect to be taken seriously by others on this forum then post things people can at least recognise.

Now back to your research - if what you claim is true post it here and now not in the future -- Why?

Because you said you HAVE THE PROOF.... if so post it.

I am not having a go at you just pointing out that the picture is unclear for anybody to make sense of. I believe also that there are animals etc that have not been discovered in our wild areas but until we have proof we will also have a bit of a joke about it.

By the way there are aliens as well --RED HAT LADY's maybe...

Grrr!!! ;D

The proof is "in the camp oven".  If it's protein then it must have made it into a CO at some stage in our varied and documented history.

If it moved - cook it!!!!  That's the catchcry!!!!

Sorry but I call BS on this one....not having had the opportunity to marinade a Yowie.

Let's face it.  If the Yowie was that popular then Safeway/Coles would have had it in the meat section LONG ago.....

;D    ::)   8-)

in the category of Climate Change Skeptic

Following up on the video below the narrator describes the beast as having 3 toes but an  "official yowie site" (http://www.theaustralianyowieresearchcenter.com/) shows that they have what looks like 5 toes and you can also by genuine plaster casts of the yowie footprint...Hmmmm!!! So who is telling the truth eh?


Grrr!!! :'(

How to spell......

How much proof do you need, take notice of the picture in question this is one of 2 pictures taken around Xmas the other which I will attach to this post.
The reason they are a bit blurry is they were taken with a trail camera which is activated by heat/ movement. The figure in the pictures is walking away from the camera and is 30 metres away the second picture was taken about a second after the first. If you take notice you will see that the animal has moved especially its left arm.
The camera that took the shots is only a 2 meg camera and its enhanced as much as it can without distorting the whole thing to much.
I will post the original pictures in a later post.
I'll just have to send that secon picture shortly the kids are on the other computer with all my pics.

Exiting this thread because of contentious content.  Been there and done that on other forums.

Just walked home from a BBQ at mates place
Tripped over 2 BIG FEET, one left and one right.
Thought I saw a Yowie, but it was just the missus opening the door for me.
Can provide photo of Yowie when it stops nagging and sits still.
Caught a Bunyip once when Cod fishin in the Culgoa river, ugly bastard threw him back
::)

Kids are still on the net, if you go into google and type in
Paul Compton Yowies (thats me) you'll see what I'm about.
Other than that I'll put some pics on here

Hi Paul and welcome to the site.  Told you that you should expect some negativity but then I guess you are used to that.

Apart from the Yowie business I look forward to some input regards your camping expeditions.


Derek

Hi Derek,
Thanks, its been interesting to say the least, but I did expect it. There are quite a lot of none beleivers around but I'll try and convince a few, atleast they'll know what the noisein th bush are  are while they are out camping.
I'll be glad to share some of my camping experiences with the forum, good to be here.
Paul

Hey Paul also welcome..

Don't take my - our comments too seriously though...

Mate you are most welcome here as has been stated ...Enjoy our company as I am sure we are going to enjoy yours. Contribute as much as you can and from that we all learn. I also have been taken to task but heh - that's part of the fun. Derek has provided us with a great place to meet so enjoy...


Grrr!!! :)

Crazy dog,
Thanks for the welcome, I am on 6 bigfoot forums so I didn't expect this one to be any different even thought the tip is bit out of the ordinary.
I'll post more evidence here today, kids finally went to bed.
This forum looks like a good place to be, so I'll hang around and contribute where I can.
Paul

You'll get yours CD how did you know I had a BIG FOOT!!!!!!!

After reading through here I will be more careful when camping and opening doors I might get taken for something edible!!!!!  Tasty though I hope  :o

Dropped a brick on my big foot, guess what sound I made.....YOWIE!!!

Onya Carolyn,

You could always borrow BBC's Cabelas mate .....cuppla carrots, few spuds and some peas....9 under 15 on top...LOLOLOLOL

#### I'm done 4 now.....

Grrr!!! :D

This is the second picture I spoke about last night which was take about a second apart from the picture already posted

---

Paul - why don't ya put a series of pics up so we can see the movement you were talking about..

You have my attention now...

Grrr!!!

By the way I always sign off with Grrr!!!... [smiley=cool.gif]

I live near Yowie Bay but I don't know how it came to be called that.

pd

This is the original picture of some eyeshine hat one of cameras captured

---

This second picture is the same only its been enhanced to bring out more detail, if you look right of the eyes, there is a sweet potato which is hung from a tree ( that was a bait I had left there) and is 5'6'' from the ground which will give you some idea on the size of the animal.
Take notice of the nostrils and the wrinkles around it, there are no other animals in Australia with those charactaristics

---

I'd like to put the two picture together, give me a minute I'll have to ask the daughter.

Musical Yowie.  :P

Yowiie, so where are the yowie hotspots. I know of the Kilcoy / Jimna area in Qld, are there any others?

The most talked about sites are the Gold Coast Hinterlands and the Blue Mountains.
They are the areas that were the hotspots but there has never been any evidence to date to com from these areas.
I am in the hotspot and its going to get hotter.
What I am showing you here are the first picture ,to be taken of a Yowie, I have other evidence to put forward yet. I may put some more on shortly
Paul

Well, seeing no-one else was going to post up POSITIVE evidence I have taken the liberty to post this video which is about all the evidence you need.... ;D

gee OJ, you could have posted that before we all commented ;D

I'm being a bit of a skeptic BUT I've been traversing the bush for a couple a years and never seen anything untoward as in a striding, hairy, tall, funny looking, not talking back, furry pictured beastie.  As a keen photog I try and get things in focus or at least have a capable zoom on board.  Are "they" out there????
Maybe they are, but with the techo stuff we have now I think Google Street Map would have gotten a bit up close and personal by now.  I talk to and teach many Parks Rangers and raise this subject with them.  Mainly they scoff and agree it's folklore.

Deep down where I live?  I hope there is a Yet/Bigfoot/Sasquatch.  Will the Yowie accept the change to the National Anthem (No it's NOT "I Still Call Australia Home-o as per QANTAS) I hope I have a Yowie living on my property as they are very good at scaring Scouts on their first camp-out.  Wear a crash helmet if you decide to take on this dubious task - they throw things - poor Yowie!

Like E.T. if the Yowie were to "go home" (OK it's "phone home" but does a Yowie have a SIM card paid up???) where would that be?  Coffs Harbour?  Ayers Rock?  Local tip??  Local waterway???  Nah - the locals would have sussed him (or her) out long ago.  Bring in visions here of Farmers with pitchforks and Yowies doin' the nasty down in the lower 40 so they can keep popping up now and then.  Begs the question of how long does a female Yowie carry?  We could get bogged down in here for a long time.  We can track monkeys of ALL breeds in the rainforest and other places.  Saw it on TV tonight.  But Yowies.......haven't seen them on the Discovery Channel for eons.

We all know that secret ingredient to a great CO cook out.  This is one of those.  I admire and endorse those who subscribe to the pursuit of the unexplained such as the Yowie.  I salute and admire you.

I have other rows to hoe - that is all.  Good cooking is where it's at and if, just if, a Yowie wanted to join in the feed - most welcome - get the invitation 8-)

I'll give you a quick run down on what I have acheived since I started reseearching.
1. Had 4 sightings of these animals the closest being within 30 metres.
2. Have discovered 6 beds that have been constructed by these animals.
3. I have collected foot prints casts.
4. Found a terd that was still hot and measured 40cm in length and as round as large nectarine, which at present is in Vancouver being tested for DNA.
5. Have 3 photographes of the animal.
6. Have done some call blasting in the Blue mountains and received a return call. The vocalisation I used was from an animal that was recorded in Nevada USA.
7. I have had hair analised by the leader in primate hair identification in the world and he has documented that the hairs I had sent him were from a higher primate and that they were identical to hairs collected in the USA beleived to be from Bigfoot.
Thats just a quick rundown without going into detail.
These animals are here and they are here in numbers, naturally there are skeptics out there but just wait till you do stumble across one.
have a nice day :)

Muzz,
I'm pretty sure that was a Yowie that made that bloody big crash noise at 2am at Broke the other night, looking to pinch one of my CO bread rolls...the bastard!!
Come to think of it there was some beast like noises coming out of  the Marquee too! ;D ;D ;D

No seriously, I have already posted evidence of Bigfoot, here is a picture of two of them, and even in focus (hairy bugger that one on the right). ;D ;D ;D
By the looks of the little one there will be still some around in the future.

Mmmmm....DH?
Yeah Im sorry too mate, sorry you cant take a joke.
By the sounds of it you had dealt with skeptics before and could probably take a bit of criticism and maybe a lark, but perhaps I was wrong.
Honestly I did not want to insult you, but your reply indicates that you do not give a toss about that yourself.

Robbo

DH ?? I know what it means,but I dont think its an abbreviation of anyones name on here.I might be wrong,but if not,you just lost me.

Must admit I find it hard to believe that the Yowie exists.  

If, as is alleged, it is a large hairy creature, then someone over the years should have come up with some definite evidence.

If it was a smaller type animal like a marsupial I could accept that perhaps there is a species we haven't found but a large creature ....... no.

I can take all the crap thats handed out, it doesn't bother me in the least. Skeptics  don't bother me its the DH that piss me of, they THINK they now what they are talking about when if fact they know Jack.
AS for criticism thats not a problem I've had to put up with it since I've been researching these animals, critise all you like I have the evidence, you prove me wrong
I like a joke and a LARK like everyone, but I came on this site to enlighten  a few Aussies about something unique to Australia, it may not interest everyone but it will some, if your not interested don't read the posts, its that easy.

Yowie in certain circles where I hang out DH means dear husband and DW means dear wife.

Please explain your usage.

I am going to have to caution you here.

Yes, we all like to have a laugh and a joke but calling members Dick Heads will not be tolerated and I would ask that you apologise for doing so.

IT WOULD APPEAR EVERYONE POSTING IS AN AUTHORITY ON AUSTRALIAN FAUNA,IF THATS THE CASE, WHERE DID I GET THE PICTURES OF A BIPEDAL PRIMATE IN THE PICTURES POSTED.

Derek,
Ok I'll apologise, for that.
If I'm waisting my time here I'll call it quite and bow out and give this forum a miss. It appears there aren't any interested parties here

I thought you might be a little more tolerant of us all Paul after the initial bagging but it appears that you want to shove down our necks what YOU BELIEVE in and if we do not happen to agree with you you become a little toey. READ ABUSIVE... [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

The fact that you have upset one of our international members along with Aussie's is a worry.. Please consider an apology and let us all get back to the focus of this site which our friend Derek has given us the privilege of using...

Well my man from me to you I am sorry that you feel the way you do that because I was looking forward to hearing some stories about your camping experiences in this great country of ours..

I KNOW YOU BELIEVE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU THINK WE SAID…
BUT I’M NOT SURE YOU REALISE THAT WHAT YOU HEARD IS NOT WHAT WE MEANT..

Grrr!!!

I hope that you change your mind about posting.............

Paul "Yowwie" Compton Himself

Cray dog,
I just don't get what your on about, especially the international thing.
Who is the international connection I haver upset.
I don't have any dramas here, I merely posted on this site when I noticed some interest in BF/yowies I posted with some evidence that is genuine and has proven to be legitimate and I've been bagged since.
I'll keep posting here but it won't be Yowie related

Paul I am glad to hear that you will not leave us and please don't take it personally too much coz we Aussies as you know like to take the proverbial but have a look at LK's response about the DH ref. LK is a Canadian - yup the same place you are having DNA tests done (yes I have read your posts carefully and read up on the links you suggested) and I read from her post that she was a bit "miffed" at the use of DH.

Now that aside WE SHOULD ALL (including me) move ahead and use the forum as it was meant to be by Derek - a place where all who are interested in Camp Oven Cooking and associated topics can be discussed and information shared.

I also think we should all be passionate with our pursuits in life whether they be cast iron cooking devices or yowies but not to the extent where a bit of bagging and good meant humour gets in the way of our forum and definitely not to be over powering with our own individual ideas etc... I suppose I could be accused of that right now in this post but I would like to see you Paul and the rest of us get along in the future.

Here endeth the lesson!!!

Grrr!!! :o

Crazy Dog,
No probs, I'm over it ,lets get back to the cooking, Cheers

Dont call it quits, I also have read your posts with interest and am not a complete skeptic but will need a lot more convincing and would probably drop one of those huge faeces myself if I ever met one face to face in the bush.
As for the earlier comments, I've been called a lot worse.
Lets let bygones be bygones and if you feel passionate about something, by all means please post it, but if there are some (or even a lot) lighthearted comments and smart ass replies from Dreadfully Handsome guys like myself, please dont take offense.

Robbo

Robbo,
Yeah Ok, I just get a bit pissed try to tell it how it is. I'm sorry for the previous comments.
I'll post the evidence as I see fit but it will come.
Cheers

Puzzled, seeking information.

Hey, CD, please don't read my 'ask and ye shall be told' requests as me being miffed.

I sure wasn't expecting to be flamed, sworn at, trolled or all the other things that could be applied to posts being very negative on forums.

I gave illustrations of other meanings as examples of what could be meant.

I greatly appreciate Derek's quick action.

& Paul, read all of our posts carefully.  Many of us have carefully put in information about ourselves.  Mine gives location.  Yours gives location.  Your signature gives a key thought for you.  Mine does too.  & some of what I have done that others have asked for by times.

Quite a few international members got here via one US based forum which is really about camp oven cooking.  If you look at the number of guests who have read each day, you will see this place has a wide audience.

:-/

There will be no mention of yowies/bfs/almas, orang pandek etc etc by me on this forum.
I'll keep it to other associated forums and organisations

I was in Kilcoy the other day and went to the Park for a brew and guess what is up on a pedestal--- a great big wooden statue of a Yow :-X. Some bludger had stolen his big Boonger too! one local Lass told me that was common for him. ;D


Regards Skip

Hey while we are at it LK when ya gunna post some recipes from your fine neck of the woods. There is a thread regarding diabetes going now so do you guys over there have any good stuff you might be able to add..


Looking forward to some good stuff from over the pond...

Grrr!!! :)

The trouble with me and recipes is that I rather think of the 'on hand' and decide what I feel like for the next meal.  I've done recipes, but..... spur of the moment for one is my style.

Ok - one off the cuff will be fine!!!

I came here to (to this forum) to have some fun with a camp oven.  If a Yowie is not a candidate for a camp oven than maybe the subject becomes a bit of a "other" thread.
Don't be precious with this subject.  I wish I could find a definitive site on the internet to lead me to some serious convictions re this subject.  I cannot.
Need to be a little laid back here..me thinks..Interested - yes I am.  Being preached too - Big no-no.  I need a Yowie recipie here....

;)

G'day Yowie,

Mate I am quite interested in what you have to say, you said you were going to post some hair sample reports,is that still possible??

It would seem not, I haven't bothered to post any further evidence since you mentioned that you were being preached to.
These are legitimate facts I'm posting on this site, I thought the readers may have been interested in some thing unique to Australia.
Never mind.

We dont mind. Interesting to start with and a bit of a lark for some with senses of humour but unless you didnt notice the name of the site it is 'Camp Oven Cooking in Australia', after 27 posts all about Yowies you still havent posted a recipe how to cook 'em.
Maybe this isnt the platform you were looking for if you want to be taken seriously. JMHO

I certainly don't need a platform in the sense you are refering.
I just happen to come on to the site with  and thought I'd join and tell you something about the Australian bush that you all are unaware of.
It appears that there are only a few that aren't interested in the subject, so why read the posts, just looking at the amount of readers that have looked at this topic there is obviously a few people that ARE interested.
But I'll bow out and let you dour cooking.
As I said I didn't start the thread I only contributed the facts.

Yep, Warren, I would have loved to have seen The Furph let loose in 'furphyslinger' mode.  If he could tell Galah tales, he certainly could have done 'yowie' tales.

:)

Would this open old wounds…he he he.

Hey Stew I've got a suit exactly the same as that!!

Many years ago (circa 1980) I was on a camping trip along the MacQuarie River in NSW (yep, same area as the black snake yarn) and had just driven in to the selected spot, left the others unpacking & setting up while I went off to collect firewood.

It had been raining all the previous night and the ground along the river bank (very very fine pebbles) was smoothed out and wet.  There was water pooled in the odd area that was depressed from the previous seasons high water levels and the world was washed shiney & new.  I had a few damp pieces of wood and had spotted some bigger stuff to pull out & leave in my wake so that I could drag them back on my return to the campsite.

Heading over to one of them, I noticed some verrry big, cats paw prints.  They were so fresh that not even a grain of sand had fallen into the holes the claws had made.  I could see where the animal had squatted back on it's long flat back lower legs to spring over one of these puddles of water, and where it had landed on the other side.  I can tell you that the hair on the back of my neck, in fact every hair on my head, back and arms, stood on end.  I've never felt such a strange kind of fear.  I KNEW I was being watched and my survival instincts said not to show fear, not to run and not to look around for it.  Somthing told me that if I had eye contact I'd be in trouble.

I think I even whistled a some stupid tune to convince the watcher that I wasn't in the least afraid.  LOL.  My heart was pounding in my throat and my BP must've been fair fit to blow a foofoo valve.  Oddly enough, I felt when the threat passed ... it was like the light of a torch that had been focused on my back had been diverted elsewhere.

When I got back to camp & told my b/f & the other two friends, I was white as a sheet and the shock had me shaking a bit.  We all went back together to look at the paw prints and all agreed that they could only be made by an extremely large cat.  We had no camera with us but as a marker so we didn't embellish the story, we laid a packet of cigarettes beside one of the front paw prints and the pads were easily an inch longer than the pack.  Then the claw holes in the sand were another approx half inch further out.  

That weekend, walking in the bush & kicking around looking for gold & eating blackberries, we came across several dead and 'skinned' rabbits.  It was entirely different to anything I'd seen before in the bush.

I am a firm believer in a population of big cats (not just big feral cats, but Big Cats) living clandestinely in this country.  I have seen the proof with my own eyes, as described above.

If Big Cats live out there and have been sighted but there's not been any substantive evidence to shut the naysayers up, why not Yowies?  I have an open mind about their existence ... and hope that if they are out there, they are never found by small minded mankind.

Found some conclusive evidence, of what I'm not certain.....

I stand corrected.... I take it all back, thanks OzJ.....

Oh my god!!! It's true...There is more than ONE Yowie idiot in the world.......


Grrr!!!

Well done OJ - absolute classic mate..... :D :D :D :D :D

Crazy Dog et al.
I realize the Yowie exiled himself from this forum, but for one I can understand his reasons.
I don't know him personally, but he does live in the same town as I do.
For anyone who spends a lot (and I mean "a lot") of time in the bush there are happenings which go completely unexplained.
For instance, in the late '60,s I had some involvement with logging operations in the Nulla/Thumb crk. area west of Kempsey (nsw).
Late one night the hut which the logging crew were camped in was "attacked" by some sort of assailant (possibly more than one), the building damaged without actually being broken into (door/walls damaged, window broken, and a dreadful smell permeating the whole place after.
As the responsible officer, I had to inspect the damage on report, and I can verify what was told by way of evidence.
And no, the three being non drinkers, alcohol was not involved
The three employees refused to camp there afterwards, transport was arranged to take them to the site on a daily basis.
There are other reports of orchard trees uprooted, building damage having occurred in that area over a long period of time.
Because it is something you have not experienced, please do not be too judgemental.
I can also empathise with BITH, I have also seen evidence of the "big cat" in the Sofala area (Turon r. runs into the Macquarie r).
How does the carcasse of an about  30kg. 'roo end up 8 or so metres off the ground in the fork of a dead tree?
There are mysteries in the bush, but I for one, simply accept them.

Hey Mikel

That big cat theory is one that fascinates me.  

I recall as a kid all the stories of the Emmaville Panther.  If I remember correctly it was first described accurately by the local doctor who saw it on a road late one night.  You might recall I started a thread on it on here a while back.

Then there were the Victorian sightings of a large brown cat then later the sightings in South Australia.  The description of these were so similar to the American Cougar it isn't funny.

So yes I believe they are out there or were at least.

As for Yowies, I am still a sceptic as from what I have seen there still hasn't been a "proper" sighting of one and after a few hundred years of colonisation I do not believe that they can be there and not be seen or found.

Have a look at this video.  Ignore the first minute or so

Being from the bush and spending my entire life out and about, I agree that there are things that happen that are not easily explained. I have seen VERY large cats..... so on and so forth. The movie "The Blair Witch Project" was a bunch of kids running around the bush with a torch , it scared the crap out of millions. It does not matter what people say about your beliefs, stand by them, if people want to know more, they will ask you in a sincere manner. If they don't, then so be it. Its our nature to have a bit of fun and a dig at each other so don't take it personally. I do love to pull the P*ss. ::)

That's my bit on the topic and a few others.

It's funny this should come up here this week. Just before I joined I found this site: http://www.forteanzoology.com/cgi-bin/CFZ/YaBB.cgi?board=bigc4;action=display;num=1220021446

The old Annangrove panther has been around for a while as well: http://hills-shire-times.whereilive.com.au/news/story/big-cat-stories-are-flooding-in1/

I've seen some things that make me believe the big cats are out there, [and I've seen Big feral cats] but Yowies, [smiley=no.gif]

I wonder what happened to Paul.  I did a search on Google and there doesn't appear to be anything new from him since the two photos he put on here.

Yes Derek, he is still about researching/chasing his "Yowies".
Interestingly, most of his research/photography etc. has been conducted on nearby "Bullock Mountain"  :-?
Google BM for more info. 8-)

Bullock Mountain. Must be a big bugger  ;D ;D ;D ;D
