Well i was getting a bit preachy there. There are some dodgy witnesses out there im sure. Most are sifted out by sites like AYR for whatever reason so we get the reliable ones to analyse.
Its a shame more biologists or anthropologists (animal expert/whatever) dont have run ins with these things and the yowies leave the bushwalkers and teenagers alone for awhile![/quote]
I guess i feel strongly about witness testimony because i am a yowie witness. I may be an unwanted and mostly ignored witness but i had a damn full on encounter that confuses the hell out of me even to this day.
The few times ive talked properly about it on here and got a response, ive found the opinions of researchers very helpful in clearing up some things i was making too much out of. I actually could be a big help with some of the things i obserbed under duress that night.
Ive learnt my lesson about mentioning it though. You may think that it's "safe" to talk about these things with certain people but theyre not so easy to pick and easy to end up the freak in the room if you mention this stuff.
Id love to talk about some serious subjects regarding yowie but hard to articulate such weirdness into writing and usually im ignored on here so im content to post pictures of bigfoot or make bad jokes or whatever. Just happy to be part of the community![/quote]
Hi Yb. I’m always interested in your comments on AYR. At least you keep the threads active and ticking along,
whether your comments are wet or dry, you do stimulate further discussion.
As I said when I first posted on AYR, witnesses to Yowie activity are the real deal and their observations should carry
more weight than someone like myself who is only an observer on the sidelines.
Yb. you are the real deal, that’s why I respect what you say about your experience, no matter how surreal.
I look forward to your future posts.
As you said yourself, I have learnt a lot from this web site, the science, the geographic, the philosophical
and the contentious issue of what constitutes evidence for anything. I get the sense that behind the scenes at AYR,
Dean and others may provide some kind of counselling to freaked out witnesses who eventually come across AYR in their
frantic search for an understanding of what they experienced. This is a pretty serious matter.
Someone like Mick Fanning, who I mentioned in other posts, only had his sense of mortality challenged when he was
harassed by that Noah in S.A. whereas a Y witness has their mortality challenged as well as their whole world view.
In other words, in their world there can be a definite pole shift.
I just listened to another great audio report from Howard in Queensland, a mother and her daughter were out riding and
came across what sounds like a family group of Yowies, even a young one.
I’m trying to image what it would be like for that teenager to go to school the next day and sit in science class and try and
be rational about the world. (if she was high school age)
( ditto to TP in previous post )
Yb. I’ve read bits and pieces of your own experience via your posts and found it interesting and even unique in the way you
thought things through regarding your experience.
It would good to read about this formally written up on AYR or even an audio report on that camping trip to Fraser Island.
It’s unfortunate that this has not happened and I know you have alluded to the reasons why in previous posts.

so i must say thanks again Bushyankee for the tiki man pic. This guy i know saw one in Thailand once when he was looking at elephants. The thing tried to eat a small puppy right in front of him. Puppy was o.k but guy has never been the same since. Hates elephants now too.
