After i received a tip off about some Yowie Activity in this area a few years ago from one of my fellow researchers i decided to venture in last weekend. This is some of the Sound Recordings we were able to record. Any comments are welcome. https://youtu.be/xuqIHcHaE7g

Definitely something going on there Daniel .
The vocalisation @ 2:07 is interesting . The tree being ripped/broken is interesting too .

Interesting audio Dan. I have recorded similar branch breaking in the past. It has always intrigued me that they seem to break branches for no apparent reason than to make some sort of physical display. Your recording certainly could be attributed to the collection of grubs but that would be a construct of my own making.. I wasn't there. The snapping of trees and branches in succession to me denotes deliberate physical interaction for some purpose only evident to themselves. Branches breaking make obvious noises.. they cant hide this.. good catches mate.

Great job. There all familiar sounds. Sounds like a great spot for you to continue going back too. Great post.

Plans are in motion for a night out again very soon. This time we will cross the creek where all the noises came from.

Great audio yowiedan sounds like plenty of activity there.

These recordings intrigue me, and they're great quality. As far as the vocalisations go, I couldn't positively or definitively identify any of them. If Yowies are the excellent mimics many reports indicate them to be, it's almost impossible to clearly spot a true Yowie vocalisation without a series of consistent examples that could be referred to. Only a sound that was unlike anything we could begin to identify would reveal the presence of something unusual (and still, the sceptics would find a way to dismiss it).

It's the wood-knocks and branch breaking that always get my attention - those sounds are as unmistakable as they are inexplicable. Only something large and strong would be capable of performing the tree branch snapping, and the wood knocks are not sounds that are attributable to any large nocturnal animal that I'm aware of (although I'm not an expert in zoology by any means).

This is excellent stuff - and it's only through efforts like yours (and the other field researchers here) that we'll ever find out anything of real value.

Well done Yowiedan. Nothing like a bit of hard work to get some results. Thanks for sharing your audio.

This is what i use to get all the Sound Recordings Simon. I have a Digital Sound Recorder attached to the Parabolic Dish and every noise that the Dish Picks up is Recorded. I then use wavepad to cut out all the recordings we get like the Tree Break etc, also enchance the recordings or clear them up so they can be heard easily. Adding a picture of the set up.
