Yowiehunters Forum

Hi Dean and Paul. This is a blast from the past. It is so long since I had a look at your sites. Reading the reports and the stuff on the yowie site I am struck by the similarity of the reports. I was looking at my old Sawpit Gully report and it struck me that no-one would know where it was. I was wondering whether it would be possible to change it to "Sawpit Gully, Mansfield area?? " Gee, congratulations on the sites too, they look fab. It is so long since I logged on that I re-registered as I had forgotten my user name and pass word. Since I talked to you guys I got married. I often think of those Sawpit Days and my memory of those prints and sighting is still quite definite. I never got your book Paul. Promises, promise. I don't even mind to pay for it either!!! I never go up there as access is limited only to horses and I am past all that now!!! I would love to go there but suspect all our old tracks are overgrown. It was great country as really no-one ever went there, except the very occasional deer shooter. I reckon in nine years I would have seen at the most a dozen vehicles up there. There is a riding club that rides around the area but I think they go up further. That was where all the 2006/7 bushfires were and I often wonder how the yowie popn fared with all that. It must have been very frightening for them. Cheers, Pam.

Hi Pam,

We've had a few reports from the Mansfield area, not only Yowie but Thylacine and Big Cats. Its a ruggered part of the World out there and I'm sure you could live in the area for many years undetected. I liked your report, I remember listening to it a few years ago and the comment you made regarding the fact that you didn't realise Australia had Gorillas! Yes, most of the reports are very similar indeed. Not only recent reports, but also those from the 1800's when there was no Internet, Fax, Phones etc for anyone to colaborate a ficticious story, yet all these reports were happening at the same time right around the Country.
