Call for sightings
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:26 pm
I ran an article in a local Canberra blog asking for anyone who had a possible sighting to let me know and I could follow it up for them.
This is typical of the replies I am getting. LOL.
Are you trying to muscle in on my Reiki business? I’ve got four pet yowies up in the Tinderrys at the moment and their production of secret Reiki energy is just enough to supply the Canberra market. If you bring in any more it’ll destroy the lucrative market. So be warned, I won’t take such a threat to my honest hard-working business lying down.
However if all you want to do is see a yowie, here’s your best bet. Go south from Braidwood past Jerrabattgulla and Krawarree. At Snowball head east on foot until you strike the upper reaches of the Shoalhaven River in the Deua National Park. Head further east, keeping to the valley floors only, until you can smell the Deua River. It has a slightly different aroma to the Shoalhaven, and is quite noticeable when the sea breezes are blowing in. The common or southern brown yowie lives in a zone determined by the prevailing winds. It can’t stand the smell of either river and has found that in between the two aromatic zones, it can safely live as the mixing of the two aromas lulls it into believing that there’s no pungent river nearby.
As long as you can stay in the zone between the two river smells, and do not stray more than a few steps from the bottom of the valleys, you will more than likely see a yowie. You might even be lucky and see one of the incredibly rare McCurdies yowies. They are distinguishable from the more common southern brown yowie by a small patch of reddish brown at the base of the neck.
Good luck in your hunting, it might take you a while to develop the ability to sense the river aromas well enough to stay in the yowie zone, but hey, nothing lost by trying is there?
Then there are the usual "Are you on drugs?" replys.
Oh well I will keep trolling and see what happens. LOL
