Hi yowiedan, That is real hands on research. That bushland is incredible and if there aren't any Yowies in there as those howls indicate there are then I doubt if you'd find them anywhere.

Hi Yowiedan, Thanks for the vid of your site, you were lucky to get that recording of the howl.

Loved the opening shot in the creek looking up the valley and those Bell birds are always a peaceful welcoming sound.
The print in the mud looked interesting. Large surface areas of mud and sandbars along the creek seems to be a feature
of that area; worth checking out, although your plates of meat would be frozen off wadding up and down.

Holy dooley Dan, seriously, loved your newest vid. Those vocalisations gave me chills once I put headphones on and cranked the volume, but the whole thing was so good to watch, your poor missus though! Top notch, thanks for sharing it with us :)

I too loved the video, we should start doing something like that, but none of us enjoy standing infont of the camera or getting caught on it, well maybe we shall try.

Looks like a great area, was there any tracks through the grass areas at all, and did you yell something back to it at all?
I dont think i could have slept at all. Good job.

Excuse me for going off at a tangent, but Bell Birds, even though they are native, are considered to have become an environmental pest. See http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/conten ... 200578.htm and Google similar links.

I've kayaked up Marramarra Creek from Moonee Moonee to the campsite and remember having to negotiate that damn mud at low tide! Didn't know it was a possible hotspot!

Just to be the Devil's Advocate, may I possibly and politely suggest wild dogs howling in the distance?

Its ok to ask questions Greg. The vocals came from a distance of about 200-300Mtrs away and then lasted on and off over a 40 minute period. Ive heard alot of dog howls and to the naked ear when we all heard it it did not sound like a Canine howl at all. Even a couple that camped there also said it was no dog or fox. They were so freaked out they got out of their tent lit their fire again. If they thought it was a dog i dont think they would have dont that. I have heard that vocal once before while in the Grose Valley Blackheath its a very creepy sound. Im so lucky to have recorded it.

Hey Adventurer i dont spend much of the time at all infront of the camera, Its because no one wants to see me they want to see Yowie Related stuff like. So thats what i try to give everyone. Yes you should get your group and go out to area's and spend a night. We have refined what processes we do to get the best results. Finally its paying off.

Fair enough - I'm not very up to speed on animal sounds.
Was camping in the Grose 2 weeks ago but heard no sounds out of the ordinary.

Was camping at a well-known spot on the Kowmung River in Kanangra-Boyd NP last year and the b***** repetitive noise from the Bell Birds was all encompassing and constant during the day, with very few other species evident.

Playing DEvil's Advocate here: The duration of each howl is too short to match the lung capacity of the big, hairy blokes, but are the perfect length for dogs/dingos... possibly the same animal that dropped that scat?
