Yowie Spotting Tips

Tim the Yowie Man, the National Museum of Australia’s Resident Cryptonaturalist, offers his top 5 Yowie spotting tips, as well as 4 trails that he recommends to bush walkers and Yowie enthusiasts alike.

1. Dawn and dusk are the best times of day to spot a yowie.
2. Yowies are most often seen near waterways.
3. Keep your eye out for footprints, but you will be more likely to see scratch marks on trees (7ft or above).
4. Check out fences for large clumps of yowie fur.
5. If you still can’t spot a yowie, Tim recommends practicing the loud mating call of this elusive beast. You need to make a noice that is the cross between a repetitive dingo yelping and an out-of whack chainsaw. Cup your hands around your mouth for maximum projection and choose a prominent landmark like on top of a large rock to maximise your chances of luring in a Yowie.

Australian Alps Walking Track

“This is THE track to hike if you want to spot a yowie – it traverses real yowie country – magnificent tall forests and stunted snow gum woodlands.”

The Yowie is Australia’s version of Bigfoot. From the Australian Yowie Research website comes the following:

There are NO definites about what the Yowie actually is, other than a ‘Hairy Man/Ape’ that resides in the deep of our and the World’s forests. Hypothesis is abundant in this field of Research, as too is conjecture and debate regarding what the Yowie is. It could perhaps be the last surviving Gigantopithecus or maybe a Species of Austrlopithecine – may also be neither. Whatever the Yowie may be, there is far too much evidence to support that the Yowie DOES exist, rather than it does not. Many of the World’s academics are now coming forward after being shown various evidence and claiming that there is certainly something out there that is not formally recognized by Science.
