June 04, 2026 EP186 Yowies, Hauntings, Black Magic and Cultural Lore: Jason's Journey Beyond the Veil
Today's episode is a real treat! We're joined by Jason Lord, a proud Arrernte man from central Australia. Boxing saved him from a difficult path when he was a child and set him on a course to become a champion and mentor for at-risk youth. He became an Australian boxing champion in his youth, and he now changes lives for the better with the boxing program he runs for young people and for people about to be released from prison. Jason’s gifts go beyond the physical — he sees into the world beyond the veil, and today he’s sharing some of his most spine-tingling stories, from a yowie sighting to haunted highways, portals, black magic, and ancient indigenous lore.

May 23, 2026 EP185 Hickeys Falls Revisited Anniversary Edition
I’ve got a very special show for you today and I'm so excited to share it with you! Six years ago, almost to the day, I did an interview that went on to become one of the best-known, if not the best known, yowie sighting of all time. Yes, I’m talking about Hickeys Falls. It’s the one story that people always bring up to me when they mention their favourite yowie sightings. Many people have also told me that it was this story that made them believers in the existence of yowies. Many people were moved by not just the sincerity of the witness but also the residual fear clearly audible in her voice ten years after the event. With all of that in mind and with the sixth anniversary at the end of this month, I thought I’d reach out to the Hickeys Falls witness and see if she was up for a catch up chat. And thankfully, she was. So, today Yowie Central proudly presents the re-mastered original interview with the hour-long catch up chat I had with the courageous and articulate Hickeys Falls witness. For those not familiar with Hickeys Falls, it’s located in NSW at the southern end of the notoriously spooky Pilliga State Forest. It’s a small but stunningly beautiful waterfall surrounded by cliffs that form a natural amphitheatre, located just off the Newell Hwy. There’s a rest stop there, where you can park or stay the night or have a picnic and swim in the waterholes at the bottom of the falls. If you dare...

May 09, 2026 EP184 High Strangeness in William Creek SA 2023
We’re leaning into the kooky and spooky today as we head to the tiny township of William Creek SA, population about 20, in an area the local first nations people call Arabana country. It’s gibber plain around there – red soil, arid, desert landscapes covered in a layer of pebbles and rocks. Pete, originally from Alice Springs, took a job working at the local pub about three years ago. He had his first day off coming up, so asked a local elder where to go for a nice walk. The elder suggested a local water hole, so Pete took off for the waterhole the next day. Unfortunately, Pete got a bit lost, and what happened next was very strange, to say the least. We'll let him tell you the story.

May 03, 2026 EP183 In the Torchlight Was A Huge Ginger Yowie! Yowies and High Strangeness at Lower Wonga, Wolvi, Dalby QLD and Yowrie NSW
You're going to love today's show! I had a wide‑ranging chat with Kevin and Phoebe, and they share several years’ worth of remarkable experiences from Lower Wonga, Wolvi and Dalby in QLD, and Yowrie in NSW. We’re talking yowie sightings, dogman, big‑cats, spirits, eyeshine, mindspeak, tracks, greasy handprints and footprints, infrasound, portals… even their horse was attacked by a panther! Kevin and Phoebe have so much to share with you. To quote Kevin, “As I spun around, in the beam of the torch about 30 feet from me was this huge, ginger yowie!” And that’s just one moment in a long list of experiences...

April 26, 2026 EP182 High Strangeness with Bigfoot Michigan Rob: Bigfoot, Stickman, a Poker Game with the Devil and more!
I’ve got an absolute ripper for you today! My guest is one of my favourite humans—Bigfoot Michigan Rob, host of Brunch with BMR and Bigfoot Michigan Rob and Beyond.
Rob’s one of those people who’s been seeing beyond the veil since he was a kid. In this chat he shares some of his wildest experiences—plus stories his listeners have trusted him with.
We get into his terrifying Bigfoot sighting—and the tragic events that followed. His weird stickman sighting. Dogman and shadow people. Creepy small towns and the secrets they keep. And then there’s the Vegas story… honestly, it’s one of the trippiest things I’ve ever heard—Rob thinks he may have bilocated and ended up in Vegas playing poker with the Devil! We also talk about the recent film about the Patterson–Gimlin footage.
Quick heads up—there are a couple of F‑bombs in this episode, so if little ears are around, maybe save it for later.

You can buy Rob's books True Cryptid Encounters Books 1-3 on Amazon.

April 17, 2026 EP181 It Was Orange, Hairy and Upright: Daylight Yowie Sighting in Weipa FNQ 2021
Our guest today joins us from Weipa in Far North Queensland, right on the tip of Cape York—about as far north as you can get on the mainland. In August 2021, while hunting on the edge of a swamp, Tim spotted an orange, hairy, bipedal being with a conical-shaped head. He got a clear look in daylight (a rare occurrence with yowie sightings) and what he saw has stayed with him. After the sighting, Tim spoke with local Original Australian elders, who shared their knowledge of the hairy man. Tim will also be telling us about a UFO sighting in Werribee VIC and a black panther encounter in Mirboo North VIC.

Join us as we welcome Jake Cassar—survival and bushcraft teacher, conservationist, and author of a novel called The Cave, which tells the story of a young man ambushed and taken captive by yowies. Jake is also one of the witnesses of Old Fire Hands, an infamous yowie active in the Woy Woy and Kariong area of New South Wales.

March 11, 2026 EP178 It Sounded Like It Was Right Behind Me! The Bellbird Grove Yowie QLD 2023
Today we’re heading to Queensland, to the infamous Bellbird Grove, a nature reserve tucked away in the southern section of D’Aguilar National Park, just 16 kilometres from Brisbane’s city centre. This is a place rich in biodiversity, ancient forest, and...something else entirely. Back in 2020, one of my earliest witness interviews took place right here, involving a man who had a terrifying experience with a juvenile dooligarl and its parent. Fast‑forward to August 2023, and today’s guest, Mark, returns to Bellbird Grove—this time with his daughter. What they heard, what they saw, and what revealed itself in the sunlight is fascinating and deeply familiar to many other witnesses and yowie enthusiasts.

March 03, 2026 EP177 It Roared - and We Were Terrified! Yowie Encounters in Koorool VIC (2024) and Lake Tyers VIC (2025)
Today we’re staying right here in my home state of Victoria, and we’ve got some seriously chilling yowie encounters to share. While these weren’t full visual sightings, I think once you hear them, you’ll agree they have all the hallmarks of yowie activity. Celeste and Lach join me to talk about their encounters from 2024 in Koorool and 2025 near Lake Tyers. Lach also shares a chilling experience from his childhood near Licola. These stories tick a lot of familiar boxes.
