Thanks for the link Dean.

And well done to Paul Cropper on another excellent interview.

The vanishing never ceases to amaze, and the account of them looking so different also puzzles me.

She gave a good description thanks to her running experience and knew what she was looking at regarding the movements of the little fella . I wonder if he was showing off , like , look at me run .
Funny how they seem to just disappear .

I'm one a very few who have seen a Junjudee within six metres. They are elusive and very clever. I think I was very lucky to see the one did as it let me see it while it stood still behind a thick paperbark tree. The smaller Yowie like creature like the Junjudee is not seen as much as the bigger ones so not a lot is known about them at all. I am hoping to bump into the little fellows again and get it on film or witness its traits in better conditions, but this might just be a dream.

I wonder weather a return visit was carried out to check the area of the vanishing for possible escape routes eg under rocks or cave openings in the Stringy Bark gully ??

Another outstanding piece.

Top marks for an excellent witness report. Thanks for sharing, Dean

I found this on YouTube about the little hairy men told by the indigenous people.

Another story from WA of the little ones. This one is disturbing.

It's an interesting article.

That video, Kezza, is genuinely scary and puts a very different slant on things.

This video reconfirms my theory that William Tyrrel is still alive.

It makes you wonder and the Dennis Martin case too.

The smaller hairy ones fascinate me. I believe they maybe related to the mysterious hairy men in Indonesia.

That makes sense to me as well, Kezza. It's more than a coincidence that Homo floresiensis was found so geographically close to Australia, and that they were the contemporaries of modern humans. Their discovery certainly gave a lot of established scientists a headache, which is always a good thing.

If we assume that the Junjadee/Nimbin could be the modern descendant of Homo floresiensis then the smaller hairy folk stop being 'just an old story'. Homo floresiensisappear to have been scaled down humans, with a comparable brain-to-body-size ratio, so they could've been using rafts to travel between Indonesia and Australia hundreds of thousands of years ago. There's no reason to assume they were incapable of such a thing, and the Indonesians tell similar stories of the little people kidnapping children, stealing food and being 'tricksters'.

This article will explain what they were better than I ever could -

Has everyone forgotten our very own pigmy

It's good you brought them up as they're often overlooked.

But Homo floresiensis weren't anatomically modern humans like the Yidinjdji people were. They were comparable, but different in a variety of ways (as that article I previously posted a link to details).

I would say definitely different to the Pygmies, the Pygmies didn't have hair all over their body's.

The below quote comes from Paul Croppers article.

“His hair was red – that deep, auburn colour, like a red setter dog. Liver Chestnut horse colour. And he could have blended well with the stringy barks, but he was a dark red. I’d say the hair was about two centimetres long (and I’m ‘into’ animals). The hair was really close [short] and his whole body was hairy.”
