Giants From the Dreamtime the Yowie In Myth And Reality

Yowroo or Yarhoo or Yowrie 1949 Large Footprints

For example: the 'Queenbeyan Age' (4/9/76 published a letter by a Mr Knowles who related back in 1949, he was living and working in the Araluen area between Braidwood and the South coast.

"Old hands in an area west of Moruya along the Deua River often spoke of what they called a Yowroo or Yarhoo or Yowrie to describe the creature. Twice in 20 years I found footprints-once on the riverbank area and once in a scrub area-that could not be identified as being those of any known creature.

Mr Knowles said there was an area of bush that was completely without any signs of wildlife. I have lived in the bush most of my life and the area was definitely eerie. You always had the feeling something or somebody was watching you. Stock that wandered into the area disappeared without explanation and no remains were ever found.

There was definitely something unknown in that area, just 16km inland from Moruya on the Araluen road," he said. Mr Knowles said the footprints he and others sighted were definitely five-toed and of "considerable depth in river sand". "In one set of footprints, I personally saw the distance between them was up to 2.3m. I am convinced that something different was definitely in that area near Moruya, "he said.
