Yowiehunters Forum

Hi,

My name is Mark, I live near the Brisbane Ranges in Victoria and are wanting to know if any reports have every come in from this area. I visit the Ranges all the time and have explored not even half of the park, It is rugged in some places and is not visted by many people.

Cheers,

Funny you should ask Mark....

We had an absolute beauty come in about a month or two ago.

Not sure if we have it in out latest news, I suspect not, but it is well worth the read once we get it up.

Although I doubt it was formally posted, I'm sure it was spoken about on the board because I remember Fluffy asking where the Brisbane Ranges was?

Can't pull the details right now, but I did speak to the witness again a couple of weeks ago. Great sighting by a group of people. Not recent, but never the less, it was a good one.

Bushman you have captured my attention with your information request. Nice to have a yowie location that is near Melbourne - day trip at least!

I have been planning to visit that area for some time: mostly to check out the old gold mining settlements.

Went to the Sherbroke Forest on the weekend - doubt any Yowies would hang out there!

Any Brisbane Ranges parts/trails that you recommend?

Keep us posted with your experiences down there.

Thanks Dean,

If you could find that report it would be great. Meanwhile I will keep going out there.

You never know.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Big V,

Thanks for your reply, I would suggest the nature circuit which starts at the Ankie Gorge Picnic Ground.

It takes about 3 hours to complete but takes you over some of the best country the Brisbane Ranges has to offer.

I hope you have some luck.

Cheers,

Mark

Hey Matt,

I live near Ankie in Victoria. We are very close to the Bisbane Ranges so I go there all the time trying to find any evidence.

Cheers,

Mark

I have a property on the other side of the ranges towards ballan. seen any pigs or goat while youve been out there?

Hey Matt

Haven't seen any Goats or Pigs out in the Ranges but heard plenty of things going through the bush.

Nice place the Brisbane Ranges, I try to get out there as much as I can but you know how it is with work and soforth.

I will keep you up to date with my trips out there.

I am a bit late to the party on this one as I only just found this forum. I found a giant footprint while walking around in the Brisbane Ranges. I took a few pics but made a rookie error in not putting anything down for size referance. It was in mud so it had clearly defined toe marks and all.
