*For those that don’t know, “tramping” (“hiking/camping/backpacking”) is a common occurrence in “Oz” (Australia and loosely New Zealand).

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Salt Fork Conference is always an informative meeting. I’m sure Tony will add to the long list of distinguished speakers, in the past including the famous Loren Coleman!
Actually, having done it in both places, “tramping” isn’t so much the Oz as the NZ term.
In Oz it’s called bushwalking.
(American students call it backpacking when you take a daypack on a train in Europe. Something needs to be done about that, IMHO.)
Actually, I think a better Ozzie translation of “tramping” would be “going walkabout”.
Still waiting for a Brisbane store to stock The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot…
hey everyone im sure the yowie researcher will realy injoy meeting usa sasquatch researchers at the ohio bigfoot conferance. his book is still very informative to read. thanks bill green. 🙂
Another reason to be disappointed that I can’t get off work work to attend the conference May 19th.
Great book- I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would love to go tramping in Oz for a few months in search of the Yowie!
