Back in 2004, age of 26, I just finished my study, got a job then a car to drive around, living in north suburb of Melbourne.
My parents visited me in Melbourne (from overseas), we had planned a trip to drive to Sydney. I was really excited coz it would be my first time long drive.
I somehow, convinced them we departed at 12:00 at night, so we would be able to arrive Sydney in the morning. We could always sleep in the car.
So we departed 12:00 from Craigieburn VIC, definitely passed Albury. The night driving was very boring, coz you don't see much things at night. At about 4am, I was really really tired so we had to stop at somewhere to sleep. I locked the car door of course. I remembered I slept when it was still pitch dark and woke up during the day (can't remember what time). I finally managed to arrive Canberra at 11:00am.
It was after we woke up, my mum told me she had a bad dream, she said in the dream she saw "beggers/hermits in extremely shabby appearance...put hands on the car window and trying to look inside on us." I simply told my mum not possible mum, no homeless people in Australia, everybody has a roof (was true in 2004).
That's it. I was always wondering where I was at. It was not a sleep area, just a random flat space beside the main road. I had no knowledge about yowie back then. I wouldn't say my mum actually saw anything, maybe it IS just a weird dream. But some people do, wake up, see very un-normal things, then close eyes again and thought it s just a bad dream. My mum passed away two years ago before I heard about Yowie, so no chance to ask her about it.
