Hi all Iam new to this whole forum thing so I hope that you will be able to bear with me , just a quick intro of my self and as to what attracted me to the YOWIE subject , firstly the name is AL and I now reside in Woolgoolga ,north coast nsw ,keen outdoorsman and so have a natural interest in what may possibly be out there in the local forrested areas that I frequent in the pursuit of recreation .
During the late 80s I was with my nephew , dirt bike riding and camping at the Nowra bike farm during the evening we heard loud gutteral screams that no known animal , man or beast could have emmitted . we slept with one eye open with our sleeping bags pulled high over our heads , hearing something lurking around the camp and disturbing our tucker box and previously used BBQ , we were both to fearful to take a look outside of the tent let alone dream of going to the toilet I must add that we were both young at the time and we are very close in age . since that time I have become interested in yowies .
After stumbling upon AYR Iam asstonished by the amount of reports where the contact is much closer than my own encounter , so after exploring around the trails in my current area I think I have found good evidence of yowie sign , one well beaten track dissapearing into thick vegetation that I do not have the gonads to follow on my pat !
Perhaps some of you guys might like to join me on my 1st proper expedition ?

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Welcome, Al
Firstly, I was gobsmacked by your post - Woolgoolga is the town I holiday in yearly, and I have a friend living in Red Rock, so I was amazed to see the name of Woopi up in lights on this forum
There have been a LOT of sightings of cryptids down this way - Gary Opit describes at least a dozen reports from local people in the general area a couple of hundred km around Woopi, of suspected Thylacines and an unknown creature that doesn't resemble a Thylacine or a big cat, strictly speaking.
Can you elaborate on the area a bit more? Would love to hear more.... have you spoken with any indigenous folks down that way at all? They may have some interesting local history of anything Yowie, too.
Kind regards,
Shazzoir

Re: Woolgoolga sign
HI Al,
Welcome.
Here is one from Woolgoolga for you.
"I regard Yowie's as more human than animal. I grew up with one from my earliest memory of about 3 or 4. All I can remember is that he was there, communicating with me in my mind. We always played together but his Mum and Dad were always in the background, keeping an eye on us.
This was on my Mothers Banana Plantation, not far from the packing shed in a bush area. The size and the eyes of the Yowie are the thing that stays most in my mind, even to the present time..
I used to wander from the packing shed into the bush area, but I knew the boundaries of the property, and never went past that. I would see my friend daily at times, and sometimes just now and again. I was always in earshot of Mum, but I was in fairly heavy bush land. I think my Mother believed, although my first stories were put down to my "imaginary friend".
There was 71/2 years between my next oldest brother or sister, so I spent a lot of time by myself, while they were all away at school. We have never discussed this, so I don't know if they ever had experiences or not.
My friend, had reddish-brown hair, no longer than 4 inches, fairly thick, especially across the shoulders, it was coarse but smooth. At different times of the year, he had a different smell. In summer, it was a sweet overpowering smell like beehives, and in the winter a more musky/rotten smell. He used to come into the back of our house to the fruit trees and pick and eat the plums.
Occasionally, he would grunt, but not very often, and it was usually to get my attention. We played together a lot, when I was young. We played tag, we climbed trees together, and if I got into trouble, he would always help me out. He would always give me a push up, if I couldn't reach a branch, or lift me down if I got stuck on the way down. The other thing we used to do, was roll over logs and eat the grubs and insects from underneath. I know it sounds gross now, but at that age I didn't think twice about it. Sometimes, if we couldn't roll the log over by ourselves, his Mum and Dad would come and help us. It was like they were overseeing our learning of how to live off the land. What is right to eat, and what isn't. We were just like 2 children playing together, I had no idea, that I "shouldn't" be doing it, or that it could be dangerous.
I don't know really how we found each other, I could just sense him in my mind, and then I would find him. Sometimes we would play for a few minutes, and other times we would be together for hours. He was agile, but I remember now, that his movements were very deliberate, like he was thinking hard about what he was doing before he did it. He could jump really high, and run fast, I never had a chance of catching him when we were playing tag.
In his adult life, when I came back to the property as an adult, with my own family, he was about 6-7 feet tall. When I was growing up, I just remember he was always taller, but grew like I did. He was always broad across the shoulders, and had large hands and feet. I don't ever remember it smiling, but I felt the emotion of it smiling, it didn't show things physically. The arms were longer than ours, but in proportion, and very muscular and very strong. He had five fingers, they had nails just like ours, and the pads of his fingers were more pronounced. His skin was brown, like a very tanned person, but not black like an aborigine. There wasn't much hair on the face, but a trace like a moustache and beard. His feet were very large, very wide across the toes and the ball of the foot, they were very flat, and he had a large big toe. There were times when it was aggressive to others, but never to me. When we were in the house, you could hear a hum. Not everyone could hear it, but when I heard it I knew he was happy.
His parents were just bigger versions of him, and were always there watching from a distance. They had palms free of hair, and the backs of the hands and feet had a lot shorter hair. I moved to Brisbane when I was 6 years old. We moved back to the property when I was 10 or 11.
We still had our adventures. But not as regularly.
I moved away from the property again, and had a family of my own. We moved back, my two children and myself in about 1992 He was still there, but I sensed he had a mate, I didn't see her much but she was younger than him and a honey blond colour, a lot smaller than him, and very shy. I don't recall seeing breasts, that were obvious, they possibly, could have been covered by the hair. My encounters with him at this time, started with an inquisitive face peering through the window, which appeared just like a silhouette. Then he started calling out, a sort of humming noise, and when I heard that, I knew he was happy. We were just sitting there watching television, and I just sensed this feeling, and turned around and there he was looking through the window, he just looked the same but older. I still believed that he was my secret. But I do remember my daughter chatting away, but no-one was there, maybe she was also having the same experiences I had when I was young?
One night my girlfriend came to stay with her two children and her boyfriend. We could both hear the humming noise, but he couldn't, he disbelieved, as he had been a hunter all his life, had not had an encounter, and therefore didn't believe they existed.
That night, my girlfriend and I went out, and left her boyfriend looking after the four children. It was close to bedtime, so he walked down the long hallway towards my bedroom to get the mattress to take back to the lounge for them to sleep on. He got a cold feeling as he walked down the hall, and a huge hand was placed on his chest, lifting him up and throwing him through the wall. He was 6 foot 3 inches, tall, and weighed 17 or 18 stone. He said he felt like a feather in the hands of this creature, which was mad and angry.
In the end, he sent the children to the bedroom to get the mattress. The next day there was bruising on his chest of a hand print. I took him to the bush the next day, and asked if he could see anything, he said no. I told him to look closer, and in the gravelly dirt, he saw prints, nearly twice the size of his feet, running up the hill. From that day on, he was too scared to stay in the house. For some reason, they just didn't like him.
After my mother sold the property, I went back that way for a drive. They are still there somewhere. The strange thing is about three months before I shifted away from there forever, and at the time I didn't even know I was going, I felt like the Yowies' were saying goodbye. At the time I thought they were moving on because the food was running low. Then 3 months later, it was me who was moving to live with my new boyfriend, somehow they knew.
I have discussed my experiences with a few friends, who have related to me some of there encounters as well. One friend, who was walking to the toilet (an outside one) smelt this sweet rotten smell. She thought there was a problem with the septic tank, but then felt a strange feeling. She turned around and there he was, standing down by the fence. She described it as a ghost like silhouette, and she sensed it was asking for help. She was so scared she ran straight back inside the house.
Another guy, who I have known since I was young, had a car with an expensive stereo in it, so it had an alarm. The alarm would go off, and by the time he got out to the car, he could hear a person moving off. Other times, he would find the mirrors turned up or down, and different things like that, but no attempt to get into the car. On one particular night, he was out at his car with a torch, and saw something. There was no reflection back, only a silhouette form".
There is far more to this report that we have not added for some reason? In fact, this is only the edges.
Nice area for them.

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Thanks folks for the very warm welcome , a hard thing to find these days .
Shazzoir the area if I can say so in this forum is the Woolgoolga creek / Sherwood reserve area , is is a remnant low lying sub tropical rain forest located just to the west of "WOOPI" I live very near by and mountain bike to the waterfall at the end of the trail regularly . I have only noticed this sign that I write of after re educating my self via AYR and I now look quite vigoursly for it .
I have located 1 x clear footprint not far uphill from the creek area although its length seems to match many other AYR descriptions its width appears to be much narrower approx only 4" on the old scale ( 100mm) there is often semi definable prints along the main track to the waterfall albeit the ground is quite hard .
This area and its water holes are reputed to be past birthing places for the local native women and it is a very beautiful place , the off shoot track that I dare not venture along alone , is not a normal marked track but one used / created by something other than people . I have reached a stage where before venturing further I wish to be accompanied by experienced and like minded expoditioners as the area can become very errie when alone , I usually ride the bike in case a fast escape is required but to go beyond the track a bike would be useless due to the dense jungle type bushland and Iam certainly not attempting this sojurn alone .

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Hey Dean thanks heaps for that localised story you were so kind to post , I have previously read it in the reports section and wondered as to the specific local of its origin , the underlying terrain descriptions included within the report could describe an area anywhere from the Boambee Valley right up to Woolgoolga . My own house backs on to extensive banana plantations so I can only imagine just how close to my premises that these events eluded to by the reportee took place . The further I delve into the subject it is definately comfirming to me that there is a strong Hominid presence in the Woopi vicinity . Shazzoir mentioned had I enquired with the local Koori community , I have not at this stage although I intend to make contact with some of the local Indian / Australian Seihk banana farmers , that live high up in the surrounding hills and whose farms are shrouded by the dense scrub of the area , Iam sure that these fellows must have some encounters from time to time .

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Hi Shazzior
next time you are heading to Woopi let me know I would be keen to show you the areas that I have mentioned previously , I had a conversation of the Yowie kind today with a friend who used to conduct animal field research , whilst on an assignment at platypuss flat which is located out near dorrigo west of Woopi , he said they were grounded for the night due to bad weather I think they used to work from platforms winched up into the trees , during the evening whilst sitting around the fire they began to hear strange sounds when all of a sudden a very large hairy beast came into the glow of the fire and roared at him and his co worker . He said that in their haste to get out of there they even left their tents behind , now this guy is a hard biker type and would not seem to be one shaken so easily but he was visibly nervous even as he retailed the report to me , he said it was at least 9ft tall and very solidly built and definately not to be tangled with , he resigned from that job and now will not venture into the bush alone he gave me a solid warning to be careful when out mountain bikeing alone in the rain forrest behind Woopi , I think I will heade his advice .

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Al I would love to join you some time. I make regular trips to the Mid North Coast as I grew up there and still have a lot of family residing in Coffs/Port/Kempsey. I have been fortunate enough to have conducted many camping trips in these areas. Thanks for that Platypus Flat report. I spent 7 months living in Dorrigo and got to know the surrounding areas well. Any report out of that area is of great interest to me.Perhaps some of you guys might like to join me on my 1st proper expedition

Re: Woolgoolga sign
SAB if you can shoot me an email we can sort out the details always keen especially if the surf continues its flatness ( the endless bummer ) as far as surfing goes , bit of rain on tonight up here in Woopi should make finding tracks a hell of a lot easier , although those pesky dirt bike riders love to rip up the place and ruin sign .

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Hey Al, and everyone else. Im only new here (just found this site yesterday) but thought i'd share some of the weird stuff that's happened to me and my mates around this area.
I've grown up in the Boambee/Coffs area since i moved here from the city as kid, and have had a few encounters with unidentifiable entitys while i've been here...
I used to follow a bush track from the back of my house, through some scrub and into my mates back gate regularly after school and then again at night to get back home for tea. The track forked off at my end, one way went deeper into the bush and the other merged with another track running behind an old church. I always felt scared (i'll admit it) walking through there after nightfall and sometimes I would be that frightened I would sprint my little heart out until i got back in the 'safe' boundary of my backyard.
One night, however, me and my mate were both coming through the bush, from his place heading to mine and just as we got to the fork he suddenly asked "what the f*#k's that?". I looked up to see what had startled him and not 50 metres away from us was a large white figure standing in the middle of the track leading deeper into the bush. Needless to say, we didn't hang around to get a good look at it because it seemed to looking in our direction, and ran off through the back of the old church and into my house.
We told all of our mates about what we'd seen and most seemed to believe us.
Another night, I was down at a boat ramp (which is connected to the same bushland) fishing with a bigger group of friends, having drinks and being genuine juveniles when one of the lads said they saw something white in the bush across from us. We all stopped and watched this big white figure moving swiftly through the bush till it was no longer in our sights, then we hopped in the cars and got the hell out of there quick smart. I have no idea what it was or if i should of even posted this in the yowie forum, but to this day it still really puzzles me. Has anyone else seen or heard of anything like this?
Also, One of my mates owned a property surrounded by bush where they'd grow bananas. He had a big fruit shed where we would hang out most nights over the weekends, drinking and eating fruit, and alot of strange and unexplainable things would happened there aswell. He used to say it was haunted and tel us weird stories about stuff that's happened to him there. Some nights his door handles would rattle when we were the only ones home., still, we'd search the house and find nothing. Other nights we would hear weird noises outside his bedroom and get a sense of being watched by something. One night we were up at his fruit shed and heard a loud bang on the top of his paddock basher like something big had leapt from the mango tree behind it ontop of it. We were always too scared to investigate and usually ended up running back to his room screaming like a pack of little school girls.
I also hear alot of stories about yowies living out kempsey way, though i've never felt like going looking for one
I've grown up in the Boambee/Coffs area since i moved here from the city as kid, and have had a few encounters with unidentifiable entitys while i've been here...
I used to follow a bush track from the back of my house, through some scrub and into my mates back gate regularly after school and then again at night to get back home for tea. The track forked off at my end, one way went deeper into the bush and the other merged with another track running behind an old church. I always felt scared (i'll admit it) walking through there after nightfall and sometimes I would be that frightened I would sprint my little heart out until i got back in the 'safe' boundary of my backyard.
One night, however, me and my mate were both coming through the bush, from his place heading to mine and just as we got to the fork he suddenly asked "what the f*#k's that?". I looked up to see what had startled him and not 50 metres away from us was a large white figure standing in the middle of the track leading deeper into the bush. Needless to say, we didn't hang around to get a good look at it because it seemed to looking in our direction, and ran off through the back of the old church and into my house.

Re: Woolgoolga sign
Thanks for the warm welcome Dion 
I kinda just wish i'd stuck around for abit or gotten closer to whatever it was the first time i seen it but i was too scared.
Whatever it was, it would of been around 6ft tall and it seemed to be sort of glowing, not a very big build though, no smell, couldnt even tell if it had hair or not, just a massive sense of fear, but you get that walking in the bush at night. It was either a tall, pale, naked man
? a ghost? an alien? an albino yowie? 
I have no idea.
The local aboriginals talk about that bush being sacred land aswell, thus the reason that it hasn't been developed on.
I also used to hear of talk about the hairy man but I didnt know they were the same thing...
I have since moved from that particular area but i had been through the bush many more times after the 'encounter' and never saw a thing. Once there was a dead domestic dog (not sure what breed) but it was bigger than a fox and didnt look like a wild dog, in the scrub on the side of the track and it had a big chunk taken out of its right side. That was pretty freaky aswell.
Me and a mate also came across some dead rabbits hung from trees not far from where we initially saw it, but it looked like the work of some kind of sadistic freak
