Hey cozza

Welcome to the forum

There is a long history Yowies at Catalina park
In the Aboriginal community which occupied the Catalina Park (sometimes
referred to as Frog Hollow and now officially known as Frank Walford Park)
area of Katoomba until the 1950s, there circulated stories passed down
through generations of the ‘Gubri Man’, a giant man-like monster with
"burning red eyes that peer from an oversized head", and the ‘Hoori
Woman’, his female companion who "possesses a fearful voice". Both were
said to occupy a rock shelter somewhere in the cliffs above Frog Hollow
The blue mountains in itself is one of the best places to look for the yowie, its just a matter of getting out there and having a look. :wink:

Thanks Chewy, I've just moved up here and i thought i read that piece somewhere but when i tried to find it again i couldn't because i was searching frogs and not frog! :D
I'm living just above catalina and just trying to imagine where in the park they would have hung out mostly.I plan on doing some snooping around in the near future...just gotta do my homework first :wink:
