Hi All, my first post here. I have been interested in Yowies since a young child. I have no Yowie experiences but find it all very interesting. I listened to all the audio reports and recently asked an older Aboriginal man about the hairy folk. He is a very interesting man in that he successfully stradles both Aboriginal and Western cultures. I asked him about Yowies and this is what he told me.
Be very respectful when entering the bush. The hairy folk are there and watching. If they start throwing rocks or cause a commotion leave immediately. Don't run just leave straight away. If they dont want you to see them they have the ability to cloak themselves. When he is out hunting they will always leave some meat behind for the hairy folk. It keeps them busy and is good respectful practice. Always make sure you are getting home before dark.
He has the "big ones" in his area of Arnhem Land. He has never seen one but said you can feel them at times. That feeling of being watched. He told me the Tiwi Islands are home to the little ones.
Back in the early 1970's as a kid he and his mates use to play in the bushland around Fannie Bay in Darwin. There is a close by Aboriginal camp/ settlement. Still there today. He told me the old people use to tell them to be careful as there was a hairy man in that bush. He said they use to hear something crashing through the mangroves but never saw anything. That is when I told him of the AYR report of a lady seeing a hairy man in Fannie Bay in 1978. Incredible to think something like that so close to suburbia.
The Aboriginal people have a lot of tales to tell but remain pretty quiet about it. Silly us for not listening.
