An interesting passage from a thesis I found recently

[Opus]

Whilst google trawling recently I cam across the following passage in a thesis. The full thesis can be read at the following URL:
http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/971/2/02whole.pdf

The relevant section is on pages 120-121. I won't reproduce it here due to copyright.

I always find these little snippets of information more informative and interesting when they are simply an aside within a larger document about a different topic. They're like a little gold nugget popping up now then. There is no agenda behind them. They're just offered up for interests sake.

Has anybody else come across this piece?

Does anybody have anything that they can add about the Pentland area?

It seems as though it has a reputation amongst the truckies similar to the Pilliga...

Opus, check these out:

From the AYR archive: "Reports too from Charters Towers, out from Townsville, of the same small furry yowie type creatures. Even the bush Policeman had caught sight of them, now and then, particularly on the mine mounds just outside town, where there were tunnels and underground chambers. Some people thought they were goats. Some thought of them as the "little people." Each year Charters Towers did hold a procession, and in front of this procession would walk a small person dressed as the "miniature" yowie. It was at that time a town attraction."
