Hi All
i am new to the forum, although i have had an intense interest in cryptozoology most of my life. I read with great interest the Acacia Hills report, i know the area and am intending to visit the hills, ridges and caves mentioned as it is only 50 kms down the track, it is interesting that many of the visitations reported occur on the fringes and edges of national parks or mountainous regions where man meets bush, this seems to be same type of behaviour of other predators exhibit, taking full advantage of our abundant livestock, pets and orchids etc. Litchfield National Park is pretty much next to Acacia Hills and is a huge expanse of rugged forested country, the only people who get in there are the tourists who stick to the roads ( when they are accesable). I could be wrong and please correct me if needed but our hairy homonids seem to have a base area and then range out from there.. i'm betting that Litchfield park holds a few secrets, would love to hear from any yowie researchers in the top end with view to getting out and about. love the AYR site

Hey topender welcome to the forum

[topender]

Cheers, I note and acknowledge the abundance of collective knowledge and experience in the group. my background is animal sciences and more recently (last 15 years) human sciences. my family new Pastor Baz down in Kurrajong
I am keen to hear of any reports up this way, i am heading to the hilly country near Acacia Hills and Litchfield as soon as the weather permits ( currently our wet season ), i have an Anthropologist colleague who has been collecting info and reports over several years but is reluctant to go public, so am i the only other convinced person in the NT ?.
I applaud Pastor Baz for the way he explained the effect his encounters have had on him, i think we all have roamed the aussie bush not fearing a thing as we have not had any predators to worry about (" lions and tigers and bears oh my"). I also agree with the idea that the hairy one has the ability to effect it's target from a distance, i have seen this in other predators; it's like a type of primal paranormal weaponry.

Hi again topender

Thanks for the kind words but think everyone here wishes they where more knowledgeable on the subject, I know I certainly do, and those that think they know everything clearly have a lot to learn.

You say you would like to know if there are anymore sightings from the N.T as far as I know that’s it. Your best bet is to contact Dean or Cropster.

I also agree with the idea that the hairy one has the ability to effect it's target from a distance, i have seen this in other predators; it's like a type of primal paranormal weaponry.

Yeah I’m a big believer in this one they definitely have a “presence” to them which can be “felt” but I don’t think this is generally the case for everyone, it probably depends on differing factors. How intuitive or receptive the person may be at the time. etc. There are a lot of cases where people get no feelings of this ‘presence’ at all and just have a sighting. But most of the time in my opinion they are probably ‘felt’ before ‘seen’.

Anyway Its good to hear from another keen and interested person on the subject

[topender]

In my younger years i worked at a zoo (Melb), i found that some carnivores ie: wolves and big cats project their presence whilst remaining unseen; a very tangible intense feeling, same as reported over and over again in this forum, people researching ABC report same, i think it is a basic primitive piece of weoponry we have lost through evolution.
Question: If yowies are " outed " public knowledge, offically recognised, would they come under Parks and Wildlife OR Family and Community Services? AND would they be entitled to Centrelink..just a thought

[Stainmaster]

Gday Top i believe in that so much that animals can project their presence, An old shooter friend of mine once told me that when stalking an animal never look at it as it will feel you but rather look beside it until you are ready to take the shot keep up the great info

Topender,

On a recent visit to Katherine Gorge I saw a picture by the local aboriginal people on display.
It shows what they describe as a creatue which would wait in the long grass and snatch the children when the tribe was moving through the area. The shape is very Yowie like.
On the tour their are purported areas within the gorge where it is taboo because of the presence of these creatures.
With all the scrub and abundant water anything could exist in the topend.

[topender]

That country between Darwin and katherine is riddled with gorges, caves and is difficult terrain, i am going to continue checking out area's of interest and following up on any information, because of our population is far less than other area's of oz, there are large area's of undisturbed country..Yowieville i think.
i spent some time last week in the Acacia Hills area and had an interesting chat to a local gent about what eminates from the hills behind his property on some evenings

cheers

Hi Topender.

I live in Darwin and although I haven't been fortunate enough to encounter any evidence of Yowies I think the possibilty of such a find warrants exploration.

Most of my knowledge about Yowies has come from this website and the few stories I've heard from trusted friends in N.S.W. and Queensland. I've also heard about the reports from the Acacia Hills.

If there is any sort of expedition in the dry season and room for an extra set of hands I would be very interested in being involved. My curiosity knows no bounds.

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and been reading some posts. I have a working theory on why they can project their presence, or any predator can. Humans do it as well. Ever been shopping or at a party and feel someone staring at you? I'm really waiting for technology to catch up on this one. What we do know about the human brain is that brain activity can be measured with an EEG and shown on a display. We know the brain works off electrical impulses, and we know that electricity has a frequency. Example; here in N. America the house electric works on 60Hz, down there it's 50 Hz. Now, that being said, I'll get back to wacko examples. Ever hear the phone ring and knew who it was before you answered it?Ever turn on the radio and knew what song was playing before you turned it on? These examples seem absurd eh? Well, the phone is working at 50Hz and the radio is as well. Your brain could be an antennae in these instances faintly picking up on those frequencies. So....if the human brain works on various frequencies and electrical impulses, I'm betting we can conclude the same for just about any animal on the planet. If a predator is watching you and thinking enemy, meal or any such other thing, those brain waves would attenuate on you and if you're not focused on something specific, chances are you'd tune into those projected brain waves......or as some of you put it, you feel it. One person posted on this thread not to look at what you're hunting, but rather beside it. I've done this same thing with white tail deer here in the states. I've sat on a log, thought of myself as a tree, did not look directly at said deer and had them pass by me at less than 2 meters and never see me. So this is my workking theory, and again it's speculation as technology and science haven't advanced enough to prove or disprove that.

[topender]

Sure, extra pair of hands, ears, eyes and brain would be great, email me at [email protected] and we will catch up, with any luck we will end up with a dedicated top end group.
On another subject, i spent some time in Alice Springs last week and met an indigeneous gentleman who was born and raised in Broome WA, he clearly recalls incidents and stories from older family members about the Mangrove Monkey over there, same fetid stink, screams and howls etc, these creatures where flesh and blood, i vowed to ring him some later time to get some details, these critters apparently inhabit all the way around the top of oz and down the WA coast.

Actually I've been able to find sighting reports accross the entire N.American continent. I'm here in Texas and there have been recent sightings in my area over the last 3 yrs. Thank you for responding though, I'll shoot you an email.

Topender,

I live in Broome and work with aborigines. I have raised this topic with them.
None are remembered around the Broome Area. However small hairy pygmies are reputed to live up around the Northern Coast.
The Pearl farm workers tell tales of being beaten up at night by small pygmies when asleep on the remote beaches at night. But remember alot of these guys enjoy mind altering substances!!
Kalumburu Tribal members state that their are still genuine nomadic groups living the traditional life who have never communicated with a whiteman. Apparently the elders meet up with them at certain times when they are following the food trails.

Iwanttobelieve, please contact me asap, i have lost your phone number, need to discuss an issue asap

[forestguy]

sounds juicy topender - hope you're going to fill us in when you're done!
