Hi.
Just letting you all know that the new yowie book is well worth the read. I am only half way through and I am already blown away!
I bought a copy from Mckay's books in Epping, it was a little disappointing to see they had the book categorized under FICTION. I wish I was joking.
Unlike, Rex Gilroys books on the subject, this book actually acknowledges the findings of other researchers.

Hello
I tried to get a copy of the book via the internet and had a bit of trouble doing so, not to mention that I don't like buying things off the internet if I can get it in the shops. I tried to get a copy of Paul, but he couldn't get me one?
Anyway I have found out that Angus & Robertson here in Brisbane can get a copy if ordered. That's how I will get my copy. But if you want to order one on line the web address is http://www.angusrobertson.com.au/produc ... 5160&db=au
As far as the Cover Artwork is concerned, that picture I think is from the book called Quinkan Country by Percy Trezise, but don't quote me on that. I have however years ago, seen the artwork in a childrens book. I actually bought a copy of the book, but I don't know now where I put it. Don't you just hate that.

Hi everyone,
I have almost finished reading this book and would whole heartedly recommended it to anyone being a believer or a non-believer. I have read many passages to several of my skeptical mates and over time have presented many encounters and undisputable facts, that they to are now starting to wonder about the nature of the Australian bush.
Great read, highly recommend it.

Definitely the most credible book on the Yowie that has been written to date. Paul and Tony have taken a very balanced and considerate approach and it was a long time in the making. I'm not much of a reader, however I found this book is nothing less than a trail blazer.
Personally knowing (or knowing of) most people mentioned in the book made it even more enjoyable for me. The cover was well..... lets just say that I saw the other option and it far better, however its what is between the covers is what matters.
