Scrubby
Creek District-Tholongolong 1918
Monster
Man
According to
Mr Paul Graeber of Albury, NSW an old man known as "Browny"
once spoke of a "monster-man" which, he said, inhabited a
swampy area in rugged mountainous forest country, in the Scrubby Creek
district near Tholongolong about 1918.
It was during that year that
"Old Browny", a rabbit trapper, claimed he saw the "monster-man"
while he was exploring the Scrubby Creek bushland.
It was in this Scrubby
Creek area that early bushmen in the 1880's and 1890's found large ape-like
footprints on numerous occasions. Even 100 years later the "monster-men"
of Tholongolong still remain very real to the modern day inhabitants
of the region.
