Quite a few reports from this area in the past. Extremely isolated and harsh terrain in many parts.

1990 I went on a camping trip to the Clarence River NSW, we setup camp for the night 100m from the river.
I woke up at sparrows fart about 4 am, I decided to explore area, so I went to the river bank while everyone else was asleep.
I walked through a patch of stinging nettle in shorts and no foot wear, about 3m it hurt. I then reached the water and soaked my painful feet, I was startled by this sound of something big over the otherside of the river, I froze as i watched this creature taller than me about 7 1/2 foot, it was covered in long matted hair like human hair but facial features that of a gorilla.
It looked at me and ran away from me back into the bush I watched this thing as it ran a log 8'' thick flung up from it feet as it ran, I watched the thing for about 2 minutes. I must say i can not explain what i saw in any other way other than this was a yowie. Judging from what I saw I would say it maybe a very gentile creature in the wild but certianly dont wanna corner one.
