Paperback. Condizione: Good. Australia's most baffling zoological mystery During the early colonial era, Australia's Aborigines often warned British settlers to beware of huge, ape-like creatures that lurked in the rugged mountains and deep forests of the island continent. Their people, they said, had been encountering the hairy horrors since time immemorial. They knew them by many names, including doolagarl, thoolagarl, jurrawarra and tjangara. Soon the colonists, too, began to experience hair-raising encounters with the hulking, foul-smelling creatures, which they referred to as Australian apes, yahoos or youries. Today, they are generally referred to as yowies. The list of modern-day eyewitnesses includes zoologists, rangers, surveyors and members of the elite Special Air Service Regiment. This book chronicles the yowie saga from the pre-colonial era to the present day. It contains over 300 carefully documented eyewitness reports and a vast amount of other data, much of which suggests that the damnably elusive creatures really do exist. The authors also critically examine the many theories that have been put forward to explain - or explain away - Australia's most baffling zoological mystery. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is a very widespread belief among Australian Aboriginal people that huge, shaggy, man-like creatures lurk in the continent's rugged mountains and deep forests. The mysterious beings, which have been encountered since time immemorial, are known by many names, including dulagarl, gulaga, jurrawarra, tjangara, noocoonah and wawee. In discussions with outsiders, the term "Hairy Man" is often used. In the early 1800s, when they began encountering the hulking horrors, British colonists employed terms such as "Australian apes", "yahoos" or "youries". Nowadays, they are generally referred to as yowies. In The Yowie (Anomalist Books, 2006), the authors presented a great deal of Aboriginal lore plus hundreds of eyewitness reports dating from the early colonial era.They assessed footprint finds, tree damage, yowie "nests" and other physical traces, and revealed seasonal variations in reported yowie activity. The book, in fact, contained everything they then knew about Australia's most baffling zoological - or anthropological - mystery. In this companion volume they present scores of recently unearthed colonial era reports and bring the yowie saga right up to date with the gripping testimony of dozens of modern era eyewitnesses. a very widespread belief among Australian Aboriginal people that huge, shaggy, man-like creatures lurk in the continent's rugged mountains and deep forests.

PAUL CROPPER became fascinated by the yowie mystery in 1976, when he uncovered several long- forgotten eyewitness reports in colonial-era newspapers. Although then only 14 years old, he began visiting the Blue Mountains, to the west of his home in Sydney, searching for proof of the creatures' existence.A Canberra-based TONY HEALY, who had already become intrigued by the bigfoot/sasquatch phenomenon while working in Canada in 1969, also became involved in yowie research in the mid-1970s.A Since 1981 they have collaborated on many projects, notably in co-authoring Out of the Shadows: Mystery Animals of Australia, which contained a lengthy chapter about the elusive yowie.
