seen as the creature turns to the right and moves away from the light source.

This is the first version detecting the full head and shoulders in motion
and confirms that the head moves in conjunction with the shoulders and not by
motion of a neck structure.

This super slow motion with addition of zoomed pan allows a conical head shape to
be observed.

In my opinion the being in this clip has many attributes of motion seen in the great apes.

Conclusion: The being seen in this footage can only be the primate like Yowie.

I will be forwarding this clip to Dr Gary Opit for his professional opinion.

But that said, I don’t think we should discount this bit of footage from Paul. To me it doesn‘t really look like car tail lights beacause there is a dark shadow attached to the two red lights. When it moves away, you can see the background (vague as it is) that was previously obscured. So whatever it is, it appears to be in the bush and not lights from a distance shining through the trees.

Dumbing down possible submitted evidence because we think or have been told that it's impossible to photograph them or doesnt fit with our views is pointless ...in my opinion of course.

Road camber.

It looks very much like tail lights, to me. The 'shape' is the actual car.

Road camber?

Put a ruler(straight edge) across the two "red lights",that`s a lot of camber,hate to be driving on that road in the wet!

I agree with this.

Though I do think it's unhelpful to focus on the low likelihoods. There is so little enough time and money going into this field, that it seems wasteful to squander resources on situations where wishful thinking is the only thing producing fruit.

It's probably partly my own bias (in having easy access to a large wilderness), but it strikes me that time and money could be better spent on camping trips, off piste, well inside large National Parks and the like. Go stealth mode (small camo hiking tents, etc), and stay for a few days at a time. Take good recording gear/cameras. Take sterile sample bags and surgical gloves. Don't take your dog. Wear clothes which you've stored in a bag of leaf litter for a couple of weeks, etc etc etc. I'm sure this is all being done already, but it would be great to see more researchers doing such things. I just don't know how much you can really absorb in an hour or so in small pockets of greenbelt or fringe bush land.

I realise it's not always easy to do these kinds of trips ... what with busy lives etc, but at least accommodation costs are low. Camping off-piste is free .

And Paul is down in a low spot while the road is higher up. Have another look at the google earth images, this explains the height of the 'eyes'.
The road even curves to match perfectly the 'turning away' of them.

I cant speak for anyone else but the whole point for me to go out for a look was to find out if the hairys were in these corridors and outskirts nearer to and infringing on the suburbs, based on a few possible sightings i had read and a few tidbits i had heard here and there.

I agree though, that the more dense and remote areas would be more likely. Hotspots!

I would take it a step further... no tent, (a hutchie will do to keep the rain and/or damp off while sleeping), no cameras or phones (except maybe a phone kept turned off for emergency use if needed)... and stay out for at least a couple of weeks. Live as 'stealth' as possible, fishing and foraging for tucker (if you can find enough you know you're in an area where a Yowie can certainly sustain itself as well).

Take a didge to play in the evenings to attract attention (better didges have an infrasonic range that should attract their interest as Yowies communicate in infrasound, according to the what we 'know' from witness accounts).

That's totally reasonable. I guess I just feel that since it's so incredibly unlikely that ultra-shy 9' hairy ape people are hanging out in the 'burbs, unseen, that such research is probably more 'entertainment', than scientific. Nothing wrong with doing it for the thrills, of course. It's fun to imagine critters behind trees when walking at night in any kind of forest. I absolutely love that kind of thing, personally - but do understand that the only reason I CAN enjoy it, is because I'm confident that there aren't really large scary critters behind trees. If I genuinely thought there were, I would never do the stuff I do. Hope that made sense

Not entirely sure why I don't have any fears about camping .. since we normally camp well away from any urban or rural boundaries, while on our nightly walks, we're necessarily closer to boundaries. I guess in camping, we're staying in one place ... and in a relatively open area. We also have 'weapons' in hatchets and serious knives, were we to encounter human or animal intent on our harm. Either way, it's never occurred to me to be afraid while camping. Maybe I'm simply too ignorant to be afraid

Thats rather condescending of you ITD but thats ok. I doubt you meant to be.

I cant see where i mentioned anything about 9 ft hairy apemen hiding behind trees but all good. Sounds like you have it all worked out. Good luck with that!
