I personaly would go to the USA for help these guys here in Oz just don't want to help. Its going to be there loss.Shame :

Who should people contact? US!

The worst people to involve is the authorities.

I have contacted quite a few people here in Oz with evidence I have and have just been treated as the next idiot on the block. I will stick with the USA.
Atleast they are receptive to the subject.
But at the same time they are trying to prove the existance of BF before we get the evidence of the Yowie, its a bit of a race but I think the Russians will beat us to the finish. These guys are into the Almas big time.

Hi Yowiie

Hey, we need to keep wearing down the Australian Scientific Community with evidence. Because, if we keep going overseas with our evidence, we are just going to stay in the back blocks forever.

That's sort of like exporting all of our industries to Asia. In the short term, we get all of our clothes and technologies, cheaper, but in the long run we have no industry of our own, no jobs, which leads to no money to buy those items, which pleads us into poverty.

This same scenario could happen to us here if we go off shore with out forensic evidence. Not all scientists here are skeptics, only 99.9% of them. We need to identify and nurture that .1% of them and try to build them up as reputable analysts. It could work. It won’t happen over night but it will happen. I say buy Australian Made!!!

Couldn't agree more on what your saying, but how do you go about finding that 0.1%. Finding some one to do some tests is harder than finding our Hairy Yowie mate.

Well I would recommend that we all work together as a cooperative network, and if we hear of a good scientific practitioner, then we tell every Crypto-zoologist we know of (each other) about that person and pretty soon we have a trusted list of reputable scientists here in Australia that we can call upon. In doing that we can keep the tests happening here in Australia and keep the jobs and the money here in Terra Australis.

More than happy to do that, If someone can get the ball rolling I will be with them all the way.

i wouldn't be too fast to brush off the scientific community, i mix/work with a range of acedemics in the science field and several are very interested in the yowie issue, one in particular is an Anthropologist who is actively collecting info and reports on our friend, i discuss this issue with her often.

What would be the likely scenario if the authorities were contacted and which authorities/dept is to be avoided?. the likes of photo's and other evidence etc do we forward them to AYR?.
If hard evidence is found does AYR advocate informing the wider public of this knowledge, wuold every man and his dog be out there trying to huint down and harm our hairy friend, shouldn't some degree of protection be afforded them?

I’m not sure what I would do, I would probably show a relative few here if any evidence was found, and then discuss whether or not to go public with the information/evidence and I certainly would not go to the authorities.

Thanks for that Cass, i work amongst hoards of academics in the science field, i like the cloak of being anonymous here, if my colleagues knew my part time penchant i would pretty much be left out of things...but there are several at my place of employ ( including an anthropologist )who whole heartedly believe in this issue, but again they keep it under wraps, i think only paul cropper know's where i work, through my direct emails to him.
On another subject, just got back from Litchfield National Park, following a hunch along rugged ridge line dotted with caves, unfortunately one of those caves was inhabited by a pack of feral dogs...i still had the lever action with me..luckily, i dont think the maglite torch would have helped.

Q: how does our hairy friend cope with feral dog packs?
Q2 does any body else lay awake at night/every night thinking about yowies?
