just been looking up bunyip state park on the parks vic website as this is an area im interested in doing some hiking/camping. http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=76 read section on heritage. the description of why the park and river was named bunyip, interestinglly seems to be more in line with a description of the yowie right down to the glowing eyes at night.
this area would most probably been used as access to most of the sightings ive read about in these parts, like emerald, lyndhurst, noojee and neerim. of course these were mostly back in the 80s, but who knows, it keeps me positive.
back to my subject now, it seems that alot of people dont know the difference between a yowie and a bunyip and maybe some accounts, especially in the early years, were maybe passed off as the mythical bunyip, just a thought.
