Hi
I just found theres a new sighting report published as "Werribee, Victoria 2016".
Anyone knows more than the report's content. I found this one hard to believe, you can take train from melbourne city to Werribee, it's very close and highly populated area.

All I can add is the girl we interviewed definitely believed what she saw. She really emphasized the impact it had regarding the length of its hands and fingers.
I don't know Werribee, but there is a long history of sightings near Refuse Stations (locals tips).
The Report was written as it was told.

The closest regional park is You Yang or

And I found this link, a weird brochure mentions Yowie in that place.

Werribee has large areas of open pasture land, and a sizeable sewage treatment plant. Having driven through there whenever I have to go to Melbourne, it's not impossible to assume that it could be used as a 'green highway' of sorts for Yowies travelling from one wilderness area to another at night (Cheetham Wetlands, Little River, the You Yangs and Point Cook are all within what we could assume would be a Yowie's 'range' if we use Werribee as a starting point). Although it's built-up, it adjoins other areas where there's a lot of empty space/pastures that they could travel through without being seen (Mambourin, Quandong). There's a large Golf course that could serve as another avenue for travel at night.
There's also the Werribee Open Range Zoo which covers 560 acres and is mostly open grassland. They grow their own plants to feed the animals which live there (mostly African ones such as Zebras, Giraffes, Rhinos and Gorillas). If a Yowie wanted somewhere to travel unseen, they might well use the Zoo as a thoroughfare when the animals are asleep and no humans are around. Since the landscape is mostly untouched and there are no humans around at night, the presence of that Zoo might explain what makes it appealing to Yowies.
