This story triggered my memory of a recent Dairysville Yowie encounter. Obviously its likely that both stories are just a coincidence but I thought some people may be interested nonetheless.Lower half of man's body found in creek. AAP

Partial human remains found in a NSW creek are those of a man, thought to have been washed to the area by recent heavy rains, police say.
Three children were swimming with their father in an isolated creek on their private property at Dairyville west of Coffs Harbour about 4pm (AEDT) on Sunday when the remains were found.
"The remains are (from the) waist down of a male body," Superintendent Mark Holahan told AAP on Monday.
"Looking at the evidence we have available to us and because of the six to eight inches of rain that's fallen in the past week in that catchment area, there's a pretty good chance that the remains have washed to where they were found.
"The remains were found above the flood debris which also suggests it could have come down from one of the many tributaries linked to that creek and water system."
The remains were naked and not found with any other items, Supt Holahan said.
They are due to be forensically examined at Newcastle later on Monday, and in the meantime a crime scene has been established at the creek where officers and SES volunteers are searching for evidence.
Police divers have been called to assist the search.
"Our priority at this stage obviously is to locate the remaining part of the body," Supt Holahan said.
"If we have no luck today we will extend that search tomorrow and ask for the assistance of police rescue."
Investigators have no clues as to the identity or age of the dead man.
"It was in a state of decomposition," Supt Holahan said.
"What we are saying, without any formal forensic testing, is that it hasn't been there for months, it hasn't been exposed to the elements for months before being found."
Supt Holahan said he had not spoken to the man who discovered the remains but that he had been shocked by the find.
"I imagine it wouldn't have been pretty," he said.
Investigations into the remains will include revisiting a number of missing persons cases from the area, Supt Holahan said.

Yowie Sighting West of Coffs Harbour Jan 09
Thursday 22nd on January
Surroundings: Bush
Hello, i would like my name to be anonymous,
Me and my brother where house sitting for a friend in late january in a town called Dairyville, which is nothing but scattered farm and houses in the bush. the tennant of the house had always told me and my brother stories of strange noises and figures in the bush and to be carefull going out at night, as he could never figure out what it was...
so me and my brother arrived around 10pm at the house and sat down to watch tv, about half an hour later the crickets and birds surrounding the house go quiet. my brother and i have a look outside to investigate, and hear very heavy footsteps trek up the hill into the thick bushland. we think nothing of it and go back inside...about half an hour later this happens again. me and my brother are sure this time that it is no harmless animals and arm ourselves with weapons in the house and turn all the lights off but leave the tv going....
this proccess kept repeating itself every hour or so late into the night...each time the foots steps are at a different point in the house and are sounding closer. we realise the the house is all windows and tat what ever is outside can see us a very long time before we can see it....
at about 3am after hearing foots steps so many times that we are shitting ourselves that much that we have decided to leave as soon as the sun rises, we hear foot steps on the verandah, me and my brother stand up for a better look and see the milk crate (something that hasnt moved for months, as we go outside and sit on it to have a smoke) skating across the verandah, and then we see a huge hairy brown figure falling down on the other side of the railings, as if we just missed it jumping over the other side...at this point all the night animals are completely dead quiet and we can only hear the crickets from hundred of metres away.
me and my brother left the house at daybreak arms with bows and knifes and havent returned since
I guess I meant references in Aboriginal legend and stories.
