I have often been puzzled about the idea of Yowies, most commonly mentioned as the Pilliga Yowie. A Yowie to me is a chocolate treat from my childhood with a puzzle plastic animal inside. The 6 Yowies of the Australian Bush were my heroes, but they certainly weren't roadkill-eating savages. There was Boof, Nap, Rumble, Ditty, Crag, Squish, and of course Balthazar, the mighty king/lord/ruler/whatever of the Australian Bush Land...
I find the idea of savage Yowies much like the misunderstood Yeti. I have always thought the yeti would be quite nice and kind and cuddly (like the Abominable Snowman in the Abominable Snow Rabbit, starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck), and i believe that glimpses of the Australian Yowie eating roadkill would simply be the poor old Yowie reaching down to save an injured animal...
anyway, tell me what you think about yowies and/or yetis
Yowies.....Gigantopithecus, are oftenreported (between 6-10 feet tall) The toes vary from 3-5. They have reflecting eyes at night! Could be any footy player on his way home from Crown Casino.(a few were seen some weekends ,they might eat roadkill?)
