Finally I got to see the "Hairy One" in flesh and blood.

That 'uncanny sense' is smell.

Not even Booger camouflage can hide smell. My wolfhound is always racing off after wallabies that were impossible for me to see through the scrub, or trying to climb trees that possums have been climbing.

Snakes seem to be a dog's only 'olfactory blindspot'... I have seen even ratters walk right past massive carpet snakes in the grass right beside the track without knowing they were there.
The dog we lost recently obviously must have found one though while I was working in the garden. He was a spoodle and must have tried to 'whip it' but it must of got him on the back because that night he went down. We thought at first it was a tick and administered our bush remedy (coffee and anti-histamine) but in the morning he was gone. His back was badly swollen above the hips so we concluded it was a snake as ticks don't cause that reaction.

Sorry to hear that Wolf. I had a cat that was swallowed by a huge python. We could only assume she was baited first as the python was dead as well!? The dogs were too smart to eat the baits.

Wellymon,

Happy for you mate. You now have the choice to either act on your unique situation or simply enjoy the experience and let nature take its course... Think I know your answer.

Nice words BR.
Thanxs.

It's taking course, in a real way.

This cross was placed on our front deck 4 weeks ago, slowly it has been added too.
My wife put the flowers on it!
Two days later, add on's at each end, leaves placed like a flower petal, leaves placed under the big sticks delicately, a nail wrapped in green masking tape, placed in a sprig of gum leaves.

Some delicate pieces of art work in front on the driveway.
Very delicate.

Cool. "Yowie art" and sticks and stones as the medium. Picasso had some similar pieces... i went to the exhibit. They certainly are a funny lot! Thanks for sharing Wellymon.

[Scarts]

Wellmon, you're special.

[wellymon]

Wellmon, you're special.

Thanks Scarts,

Lets just say, over this episode of using a FLIR H Series for 3 weeks, my perspective on this subject has changed, as well sensitive and understanding !

[wellymon]

I must add,

And with the help from a few, with guidance and respectful knowledge.

Cheers

Welly

What an absolutely brilliant thread! Wellymon, you have a way about you that comes across in your writing, that I interpret as being very non-confrontational, gentle-minded and open to everything. Maybe this is why you and your wife are so trusted. I'm sitting here with the biggest smile on my face and I'm so glad you got help to figure out how to load photos, they are just amazing captures of craft in the simplest terms.

I am in awe.

Thank you for trusting US to share your story.

Yeah i agree Shazzoir. I was reading it the other night and what an awesome thread. I can only wonder at the strangness they were experiencing on a daily basis and how fortunate we were for Welly to share their experiences. Amazing stuff!


I dont know for sure but i dont think theres ever been a witness to the juveniles and parents tree knocking as communication. It all but confirms it for me and what an amazing experience to observe that. Same with the tree signs/ rock stscks and the yowies using the trees to get around among other even more interesting things...

Might be a bit much for some but i found it very helpful and enlightening.

[AgeV]

Fantastic!
Thank you.

I could never work out with this thread if the lack of comments by researchers was because they already know some of this more far out stuff and dont want to talk about it or they just dont
subscribe to this line of thinking.

Good on Welly for sharing what he has anyway.

What?... you mean Yowies shapeshifting into Scrub Turkeys? Or that they are budding Picassos?

If that is the case, then I DO have yowies prowling around my home.

[Yowie bait]

I can appreciate the yowie art but doubt it will take off commercially.

Shapeshifters have been mentioned in a lot of ancient cultures and may seem impossible to us but ill keep an open mind on that one.

As for the turkeys, well that's something one would need to see for themselves.

One interesting thing is how the encounters and action escalated after Wellys initial sighting. Same as whats happening with the yowie chronicles guy and others sharing their land with the hairy men.
