Hiker claims photo of a yowie

[AustralopithecineOz]

This photograph seems to be making the rounds of, mostly British, newsites the past 24 hours. It shows a shadowy figure reportedly captured 130 kilometers n/w of Brisbane. Wasn't sure if this shouldn't have been posted in the ghost forum as the area, as some have commented, is an aboriginal massacre site.

Well could be anything i suppose, including a yowie or junjudee. Ive heard of a fat one out north of brisbane that was spotted at night.

Its not a bad write up. They dont make too much of a joke out of it.

From what i hear, north of brisbane has some weird s#$t happening in the forests!

Yes indeed YB

This is a good one, and while I am only thinking out loud, I fancy I can see the breast strap and shoulder straps of a backpack, on a person who may have a beard, who is perhaps wearing sunglasses, a long sleeved blue-grey shirt and dark pants. The legs appear very slim in relation to the bulk of the body, but that's just my observation, given that the lower part of them is obscured by foliage and the rock.

Just my .02 cents...

I agree Shazzoir, the first thing I noticed is that the head appears human.

My 2 cents worth ......looks like a person with a bag / pack hung over their right shoulder

Backpacker gets my vote.

A longer article where the photographer is interviewed about his plans for a night time followup.. personally speaking I think the horse has probably bolted..
