Yowiehunters Witness Reports

Yowie Sightings of Moss Vale to GoulburnThe Moss Vale to Goulburn districts of New South Wales are renowned for their expansive, untouched mountains and valleys. Anyone who has flown over this region would be struck by the vastness of these uninhabited forests, prompting curiosity about what might inhabit these remote and unexplored areas. The landscape itself is visually spectacular, painting a picture of raw natural beauty.Geographically, this area is situated between Sydney and Canberra, making it accessible yet largely uninhabited. Along the eastern side of the main highway that runs through the district, there is a rich and intriguing history of Yowie sightings, with reports stretching back over 200 years. Notable localities within this region include Bundanoon, Bungonia, Belango, Wingello, and Tallong, each with its own anecdotal accounts contributing to the area’s mysterious reputation.Sightings in the Moss Vale DistrictToday, we turn our attention to two recent Yowie reports originating from nearly the same location within the Moss Vale district.The 1990 Tallong EncounterThe first account dates back to 1990, when a woman camping in the district witnessed a Yowie squatting on a rock ledge. The Vanishing Yowie PhenomenonThe Yowie appeared to simply vanish into thin air, leaving witnesses puzzled and questioning whether there might be a rational explanation for the event—or perhaps not. This mysterious disappearance continues to fuel speculation about the nature of these cryptic creatures.The 2012 Wingello Roadside SightingThe next documented sighting comes from 2012, just down the road at the small township of Wingello. In this instance, the Yowie observed was not as large as some previously reported, but its description matched established characteristics often attributed to the creature.Summary and ReflectionCollectively, these two compelling reports indicate that the Moss Vale district may be significantly underrepresented in terms of Yowie sightings. This underrepresentation is likely due to the region’s sparse human population and the vast, inaccessible nature of its terrain.

Overview of the Victoria High CountryThe Victoria High Country, particularly the vast Victoria Alps, has been the setting for numerous intriguing Yowie sightings over the years. Although the Victoria Alps cover a greater landmass than the Blue Mountains located west of Sydney, the region has a far lower population density. This means there are fewer people present to witness or report Yowie encounters, which may contribute to the scarcity of documented sightings compared to more populated areas.Recent Sighting at Dinner PlainThe latest report originates from Dinner Plain, situated next to Mt. Hotham. This particular account stands out due to the remarkable range of emotions expressed by the witness, spanning from an overwhelming sense of dread and the sudden realisation of complete vulnerability, to deep, lasting psychological impact.Emotional Impact on the WitnessThe emotion and anxiety in the witness’s voice were unmistakable—recounting the incident evoked a deeply emotional reaction. The witness spoke candidly, stating that there is no defence against such an encounter. In his words, “There’s nothing a man can do; you’re at its mercy.”He further explained that, prior to his experience, he often wondered why people in these situations didn’t take action. However, after his own encounter, he now understands: people are simply unable to act in those moments; it just doesn’t work that way. He described never having felt so helpless in his life.

Yowie Sightings in the Otways RegionNorth from the Otways, one enters areas known for Yowie sightings, such as Colac. As the journey continues northwards, areas beyond Rokewood becomes more mountainous, and reports of Yowie sightings tend to increase.These areas have gained a reputation for being known for spasmodic Yowie activity.While this is an excellent report, we apologise for the audio quality—it was the best we could do at the time of recording. Descriptions of the Yowie often mention hair measuring seven to eight inches under the arms, reminiscent of an orangutan. This feature, along with a height of around eight feet and a heavily muscled build, resembling primate, yet exhibiting some human-like facial characteristics, are commonly reported in Yowie sightings across Australia. These attributes are consistent from the far north, to the very southern tip of the country, demonstrating that no corner of Australia is entirely free from Yowie encounters.

IntroductionThe Blue Mountains, located to the west of Sydney, are renowned for a rich history of Yowie sightings. This region consistently ranks among the top five locations in Australia for reported encounters, with documentation stretching back to the mid-1800s. The vast Greater Dividing Range (GDR) conceals many secrets and untouched places where modern humans have never set foot. It's an environment where it’s easy for someone to go missing, whether by accident or by design.Yowie sightings in the Blue Mountains region have been regularly reported over the years. My own experiences in this area include close encounters—some of which involved positive interactions with a particular Yowie. These experiences set this location apart as the only place where I’ve witnessed such behaviour.ConclusionThis report is yet another account of a roadside sighting, which prompts us to consider if it happened by accident or somehow intentional. Sometimes, they may escape detection due to their human-like appearance—but not always.

Woolooga Yowie ReportsIntroductionToday’s focus is on two distinct Yowie sightings that occurred at the same location, six years apart. The area is situated fifteen minutes west of Gympie, Queensland—a region well-known for its numerous Yowie encounters over the years. First Yowie ReportThe initial sighting involved a female passenger who spotted a Yowie in a field. She urged the driver to turn back so they could get a better look, but he refused, and the opportunity to observe the creature was lost. The encounter was particularly notable for its description: the Yowie was likened to an Orangutan, standing motionless like a statue and making eye contact as the vehicle sped past.Second Yowie ReportThe second sighting, also at Woolooga, took place six years after the first. This time, the Yowie was not stationary but instead was seen running and obliged to cross the road as the vehicle approached. This report highlights a stark contrast in behaviour compared to the initial encounter.Location Description and AdviceThe site of these sightings consists mainly of farm fields with sparse tree cover. Surrounding these fields are mountains with dense forests, high peaks and deep valleys, all part of the Great Dividing Range (GDR). This vast corridor of forest stretches along the entire eastern side of Australia, providing ample habitat for wildlife, including reported Yowie activity.One memorable situation involved a rural house where the owner had an opportunity for “Bigfoot bartering”. Instead of engaging, the owner installed sensor lights. For rural properties experiencing regular Yowie visits and disturbances, installing sensor lights and trail cameras is recommended as an effective way to reduce unwanted encounters.

The Encounter on Mt. KemblaOn a remote mountain peak in New South Wales, a couple parked their car late at night, believing they had found complete solitude. The location, atop Mt. Kembla, seemed perfect for privacy and passion. In the darkness of the forest, surrounded by towering trees and the vast, quiet expanse, the couple made love, feeling secure in their isolation.Suddenly, as they were still together, a pair of glowing red eyes appeared from the shadows, watching them from the trees. At first, the couple was startled, uncertain of what was observing them. When they realized the figure lurking in the darkness was a Yowie——the mood instantly shifted from intimacy to terror. With panic setting in, the male witness rushed to the front seat, not stopping to dress, and drove naked all the way back to town, desperate to escape whatever had been watching them.

Some individuals suggest that all these strange occurrences are interconnected, potentially indicating a common cause or link among the phenomena. Conversely, others propose that the answer lies in the Blue Mountains’ harsh and mostly unexplored terrain. According to this perspective, the landscape’s inhospitable nature allows for the survival of rare or unknown creatures, which are seldom seen due to the area’s inaccessibility. 

Yowie Sighting at Deepwater, Queensland (2019)BackgroundThe witness has lived on a 60-acre property in Deepwater, Queensland, residing off the grid in a small cabin for the past 12 years. Over this period, unusual occurrences have been ongoing, although it is only recently that the witness has started to connect the events. These include broken branches, logs moved across tracks, stick structures around the perimeter, and branches pulled down to block paths. The witness finds no reasonable explanation for these activities. Dead trees have been picked up and arranged against others in teepee-like formations, with clear signs of the trees being dragged from their bases.Recent EncounterA few days prior to the report, the witness’s dog began barking in a manner similar to an intruder alert, accompanied by other unusual noises. Peering outside through the sparse trees, the witness observed a group of black figures moving through the bush approximately 60 metres away. Initially, the witness assumed it was a group of people, numbering about eight to ten. However, upon closer observation, it became clear that the figures were much too large and moving far too quickly to be human. Each figure was upright and at least eight feet tall, running swiftly and silently through the bush. The lighting conditions at the time allowed the witness to see the figures clearly, with daylight streaming through the trees.The area is isolated, and at the time, there was no one else nearby. Despite their size and speed, the black figures did not make any noise themselves. However, prior to their appearance, a significant amount of noise was heard from the top corner of the property, including the barking of other dogs. The figures moved from north to south across the property. The witness was initially confused, questioning why people would be on the property, but soon realised they were not human.Neighbourhood AccountsThe witness spoke with a neighbour who reported that a nearby woman has also experienced similar visits. She has seen these creatures on her property and is actively attempting to photograph them, having installed cameras to capture evidence of their presence.

The Great Dividing Range (GDR) serves as a breeding ground for reports of high strangeness, particularly the elusive Yowie. The unique geography of the region—characterized by high peaks and deep, largely uncharted mountains—provides an ideal environment for such mysterious creatures to remain hidden from human eyes. This landscape seems almost purpose-built for concealment, making it a natural haven for anomalies.Among the many reports, sightings of a white Yowie have stood out. One notable behavior frequently described is the creature dropping to all fours and using trees to propel itself forward. Our witness reflects that after researching the area and discovering that others had reported Yowie sightings in the same locality, he felt validated and encouraged to share his own experience. The collective nature of these accounts helps to bolster the credibility of individual reports and fosters a sense of community among witnesses.
