Hello all,
The other day i was talking to my uncle about roo shooting when come out and told me about encounter with a yowie... ok here is the story.

one night when my uncle and his off sider where shoot on a property that was located in the channel country near the N.T boarder. Well this night he was getting ready to go out for the night of shooting. he was sitting near the house talking to the property owner when he heard this deep grunting sound, the owner said don't worry it's only a pig, then my uncle said to him thats no pig, so he ran to his truck turn on the lights and swung it to the area the noise was coming from. Then he saw this creature running straight pass him. each time he heard the stomp of its foot on the ground he would here a load grunt, he followed it with the light then it look back at him with glowing red eyes and ran of fasters. that morning my uncle got on a horse and looked for some track and he couldn't find any. My uncle said that the creature was about 7-8 feet tall and was big, it had glowing red eyes and made a loud grunting sound each time it's foot touched the ground

Thanks

Greetings All
Big fellows can pop up anywhere but deep in Victoria Desert appears to be a home range.
Up here in the top end of the Flinders is where the little fellows call home, but I have been told that the odd big fellow shows up. This is besides the indiginous people living Au Naturelle along the lower Cooper.

it had glowing red eyes

Those bloody glowing red eyes again. Even though we "know" that such a thing is virtually impossible they just keep popping up in so many reports....
Obviously we don't "know" as much as we'd like to think we do about the world that we live in.

Cheers all,

Glowing red eyes are definatly possible. He said his uncle turned the truck lights on the creature and when it looked back thats when the eyes were glowing, obviously from the light hitting them. It's like 'red eye' in photos when people take pictures with cameras.
I do agree though that if there was no light shining in its eyes and they were still glowing that that would be a mystery.
Just my 2 cents

hi everyone...wally, will you be putting any info or reports of the "little fellows" on your site?

I hope to.
Later in the year i will attempt to reach the Clearwater Pound in the N Gammons to gather data.
A track is shown on topo maps but if this is impassable o vehicle it would mean a hike in over the clearwater range. Even so the track may only be a bridle path.
I guess a near octogenarian with a rebuilt knee hiking over a mountain range with a load of gear is a tall order, but if you never never go you will never never know.
This is where those city peanuts purified themselves in a home made steam lodge. They used local water that was contaminated with hydrogen sulphide. One survived.
Cheers Wally

peta is right that is only when my uncle seen the glowing red eyes.

have fun

Hello wally, whats ya site
and my aunt use to tell me about when she use to live up there as kids with her aunts while the males where off working, at night they will get rocks thrown onto the roof of there van and the old ladies use to stick the young girls under there skirts. then they would let these little hairy man in and they would get tea, flour and smokes of the old ladies and if the young girls where ever seen the little hair man would take them away. and this is a true story and yes i'm aboriginal it happened around the 1960's

have fun morphous

I will attempt to visit the Clearwater valley in the Gammon Ranges to gather materiel for an article on the little fellows.
I had experience with them stealing rabbits out of traps 50 years ago. At the time I thought that it was aboriginal children when I saw the small foot prints. Elders were adament that aboriginees did not go to that district, proper taboo.
much later I learned why.
I was trapping on the North side of the range, the South side runs down into the valley and is the home range of the little people.
Cheers Wally

wally...whats the story behind these "little people" . i know all about the yowie but nothing about some "little people"...could you explain?....im missing something here i think

Little people is a name i have coined for the beings that are found in the Gammon Ranges at the North end of the Flinders ranges.
I could not consider them to be midget yowies as their IQ seems to be streets ahead of the generally known yowie and they use fire.
Locally they are generally known as little hairy men by people who know of them.
They sometimes communicate with local aborigines
and play with children.
One tried to get on the scool bus and had to be dissuaded.
Whether they are half and half people I am not prepared to say but I am assured that they have the ability to become invisible, or be visible to children and invisible to adults.
I have been waiting till I have visited the home range before committing any story to print but if I do post a story on my website I will announce the fact. Nothing soon though, my time is taken up with devising an alternative fuel for use in motor.
If anyone is into alternative fuels I would like to hear from them.
Kindest regards to all Wally

My site is
http:/www.geocities,com//australiandesertcats
To date this is about the Australian wildcat.
the old BIGCAT name does not cause any emotion but WILDCAT does stir the imagination, These of course are the large felines endemic to Aust and have the same genetic make up as cattus, they are in effect giant house cats. See my website A hypothesis on the origin of the Australian big cat.
To our aboriginal friend, please drop me a line, we seem to have a lot in common.

Hi I’m new to this site and I know it a old thread but Wally did you ever go in to clear water ridge iv heard a few story’s about that valley from aboriginals as I use to work at a mine that’s at the base of it always wanted to check it out my old mans been in the start of it Said you get a weird feeling in there

Modern sighting and old tipoff west of Lake Torrens which isn't far from the Flinders.. http://www.yowiehunters.com.au/index.ph ... downs-1995

Interesting what Wally was saying about the Gammon ranges, I wonder if he's is still around.
Did he document these stories more than the snippets that have appeared on this thread ?

Its funny when you see people revive these threads. You wonder what the original posters like "Wally" are doing now - do they still follow these forums or have a interest still in these beings?

I guess people come and go in life and have passing interests - but their comments stay on here forever.

Hey Tuckeroo

Sorry for the late reply.

He used to have a website or two that he documented his stories, his website link doesnt work any more and dare I say he may no longer be around if you get my drift.

Ahh I remember Wally. That big cat site was full of great stories and info. It is a pity it's gone.

Hi Dion and hillbilly. Yeah the website no longer exists; some links about feral animals that I think
Wally may have had an interest in. He said in 05 he was an octogenarian with a bung knee
so by now he may have jumped the great divide and is enjoying his reward floating around
with the spirits of the Flinders ranges.

In one comment he says he was going up there to ‘gather material for an article on the little fellows’;
sounds like a place he really loved and respected; one of them tried to get on the school bus;
sure beats stories about shearing and bushrangers.

It would be nice to see Wallys posts compiled. He did have some excellent notes on the little hairys online but i dont think theyre still there.

Deadpools threads about the junjudee are an excellent read as well. Funny too!

Some good reading on the classic forum!
