Re: Henry Franzoni quote regarding scientific documentation

That very well may be the case, as things stand now, but I am hopeful that despite the lack of concrete evidence (i.e., a body), eventually the weight of collected data such as that gleaned from people like those who frequent AYR will be of use. When and if the day comes, when a Yowie is found, recognized as a part of our Australian fauna/tribespeople, all that back-data (sound recordings, locations where Yowies have been seen, etc) will become of great value in perhaps setting out areas for preservation of the bushland and areas where Yowies are suspected of living.
That's my take on it, anyway, and besides: you are right: our hobby/interest in Yowies is important to us, and if one is found, that doesn't mean we aren't interested in contact with them anymore.
Besides, then we'd have to take on the Thylacoleo, Thylacine or Megafauna. Never let it be said there aren't enough cryptids to go around.
Kind regards,
Shazz
