Ormeau yowie

[Cricket]

Hi all

I am only new here but have been doing some reading regarding the Ormeau Yowie described by many on this forum. I have been working/living in this area for approximately 15 years and have seen the area come from a small town to grow much larger with lots of cattle farms now housing estates. I have read in the past there were many sightings of yOWIE's in this area but this was some time ago.ihave always been somewhat skeptical til I read about the SAS encounter which has me quite scared. As mentioned previously I am an avid bushwalker/runner. Probably around 2010-2014 I was doing a walk past the water tank on Vennor drive which circles the quarry. This was in the middle of the day/morning. I had done this many times before but this time felt different. It was me and my husband alone.onthe run in I was ok but nearing the end I started to feel like we were in imminent danger/being stalked and pleaded with my husband to turn back. we started back with about 4km to go the feeling of dread got worse, the place was silent no animals nothing. suddenly a grey thing came out of nowhere and started down the track towards us. it Was a kangaroo but scared the life out of me. Not long after that animal sounds returned and I could see the road again and felt less scared.i had done thattrail many times each time felt a bit spooky when I got to the half way point but after that time I'm never doing that trail again. It's only now that I have read that yOWIE's were seen around Barrenjoey Rd (which links up to this bush track). I see the SAS said they scared it away but I was wondering, where would it have gone? There's a new estate with bush tracks nearby but opposite side of the road my husband and son walk often alone..makes me worry...also wondering why do you say never being a kid into the bush? Does it attract the yowies? Sorry for my lack of knowledge!

Thanks

Hi Cricket,

This was my old foe. I don't think he's there now, thank God. He was a menace and dangerous.

He began his little tirade in 97' as far as know. I was very nearly a victim. If he had of got hold of me, I wouldn't be here now. The only thing that saved me was being on open ground. He was so fast and strong. Massive vocal capacity.

He was causing all types of havoc in the late 90's and early 2000's. The last report I had of him was in 2007. I often wonder if the SAS boys secretly went back and finished the job.

In more recent times, Ormeau Hills and over the back of Barrenjoey Road have been coming up, but nothing sinister as that one. He was shocking. If he was still alive, I'm sure we would know about it. He couldn't help himself. He definitely had an issue with Humans.

Thanks Dean

There's a lot of bush tracks opened up now near there that were once-over grown fire trails. I've never seen anything or been concerned on these trails but worry regarding this yowie especially as you can't really see more thana couple metres into the bush and the trails are quite steep It's a bit spooky sometimes but I think that's my imagination taking over.

There would certainly be plenty of food in this area also.. lots of wild dogs/dingos and wallabies...I wouldn't be surprised if there were more out there...

[Dean Harrison]

This is the Report that finally made me act, as I did see him as very dangerous. I believe this would have killed someone, he was just that bad.

I think anyone that lives in these developments should be aware that the yowies are around. I dont think its great that people are being terrorised by them but spare a thought for the hairys as their home has been destroyed and anyone of us would be pissed off if that happened to us and old yowie is just acting accordingly.

Ive been just as close to an angry yowie as anyone has and came out of it without even a scratch. I dont deny there could be killers among them but really who can blame them when the developers are cutting up bushland as they see fit and taking away their hairy homes.

And im sure Dean would agree that if the hairys wanted to, they have the capacity to pick us off and rip us to shreds if they felt like it.

[ripperton]

My theory is that Yowie abduct 2-4 year olds.
They dont eat them, they bring them up, try to teach them their skills.
They know more about us than we do.

[sensesonfire]

I agree with you ripperton they are into human abduction especially kids and most certainly know more about us than we can imagine.

We hear these remarkable reports by Cricket and Dean's Ormeau Yowie video. Descriptive comments on what these creatures look like; how tall are they; passive or aggressive are very interesting but I think by now we can answer most of those queries but the big predicament is what are these creatures and where did they originate? these are the ones we really need to be investigating. In Dean's video, the guy reports of how this Yowie appeared to disappear and the speed at which it could run especially up a sharp incline were the most interesting.
Until such time we can answer the big questions of where and what we are going to be left in a quandary and those two questions I believe will never be answered.

I'm curious if Yowie is intended as singular or plural, ie the Pillaga Yowie(s) or the Ormeau Yowie(s).

If it's singular, some of these areas are very large and it's almost presumptuous that's it's only one. I also think it's a little sad if there's only one 'left' in a given area.

If it's plural, or intended to be plural, I feel like that's more realistic and more hopeful (in terms of the welfare of the species). But it means those bad eggs (the Ormeau Yowie, singular) have painted others in a bad light. Or maybe it was just one. And maybe it's moved on, or maybe it did indeed get the good news from the SAS boys. Hopefully there are more nicer Yowies in Ormeau (or Pilliga).

senses, I guess like anything it's an hypothesis. I'm sure that Dean and others have one, ie a particular genus/species. If it is an Australopithicene, then it/they may have been here for thousands of years from Asia/Africa. If it is, then hair/skin/bone/nail samples could be categorised. Calls/sounds/behaviour could be categorised.

It's only a matter of time. Scientific approaches will get there I'm sure, ie samples will be collected at some point I'm sure.

Very interesting in the Ormeau, Queensland video that the woman that this guy spoke to said that her son wandered off into the bush to talk to what she thought was an imaginary character by the name of Willie until her son told her that Willie was moving further uphill to be with his family. Could this have been a Yowie? it is not the first time that a Yowie has been reported to be able to communicate with humans. Would be intriguing to interview this woman's son and ask about the description of Willie.

[Billygoat]

Hey Dean, does this guy in the witness report describe the same one you seen or encountered??

[Dean Harrison]

Hi Billygoat,

The blatant aggression shown both in this case and that with the SAS some weeks later, suggests so. In most cases it put itself is a compromising position. In some ways it’s a shame he is no longer there - with the advancement of equipment over the past 15 - 20 years, I’m sure a personality like that, he would eventually put himself in front of a FLIR.

He really didn’t like “people”.

[Billygoat]

Wow that's awesome, yes you're right about the tech capturing him, do u think he left the area or died??

[AL Pitman]

I have thought about the whereabouts of your hairy friend Dean for a long time now and I just get a feeling that he has moved further out into the hills and the National Park area around Cedar Creek.
If he was not injured or worse from his confrontation with the SAS protagonist then that direction would seem to be the most plausible as it really is as the crow flies just over the range .
Even when I pass by there on the way to Tambourine or Beaudesert I just get the feeling!.
Anyway just my thoughts, probably nothing in it and I don’t know if anyone would actually want to go and find that fella anyhow Lol

Hi Dean, just wondering if you think this yowie was responsible for any missing people?

[Wolf]

I wonder what would have happened if Dean did not run.
Going by listening to many hundreds of witness reports these animals rarely, if ever actually attack people
They seem intent on scaring the bejesus out of people and indeed seem to get a kick out of it
I would put money on the hairy bloke laughing his head off afterwards rather than taking out his frustrations on the local trees that Dean got away.

Of course, we will never know if I am wrong simply because there could not be any witnesses capable of telling otherwise

[Dean Harrison]

It's very hard to do the power and ferocity justice without having been there. It was quite incredible.

Personally, I have absolutely no doubt he would have killed me. I could almost 'feel' his intent. If I had not have stopped at the start of the track to make a quick phone call, I am certain I wouldn't be here today. That's my opinion.

Only a few weeks later, a man did go missing not far away. That was along Sandy Creek Road when it was a dirt road heavily forested. Basically just up the road from my encounter. He was dropped off at dusk by workmates with view of him being picked up by someone else shortly after. All the found was his Esky. I often wonder....
