October 18 EP194 Its Arms Reached Below its Knees! Yowie Sighting At Sheepyard Flats VIC 2021 Plus Encounters at Orbost VIC and Licola VIC
Our guest today, Jackson, is an avid camper. He went camping in February-March 2021 in the Sheepyard Flats, Howqua Hills VIC area. At one point, he got out to lock the vehicle’s 4x4 hubs in, heard a massive tree fall and footsteps and then saw a 8-10 feet tall hairy thing that he quickly realised wasn’t a deer. At first he thought it was some guy in a gorilla suit, but then quickly realised that was an unlikely scenario, and then he heard a grunt and noticed a pungent, rotting flesh/burnt plastic smell, and we all know what that means... Today Jackson shares this fascinating sighting plus other unnerving experiences near Orbost and Licola VIC.

September 11 EP193 It Was 8-10 Feet Tall, Transparent and Glided Like It Was on Wheels - Puckapunyal VIC and Hornsby Heights NSW
Today's show is an absolute ripper! Dean joins us with a few stories to share that will blow your mind. We’re in the Hornsby Heights/Galston Gorge NSW area, as well as Puckapunyal VIC where the army training base is. We’ve got UFOs and what seems like a possibly abduction, we’ve got a yowie sighting from when he was in the army training at Puckapunyal, and we’ve got a very strange story from when he was camping in the bush as a 15 year old that we suspect was yowie activity, but there are a few anomalies that are just plain bizarre. You can make your minds upon that one.

August 15 EP192 It Looked Like a Tree Stump with Arms and Two Red Eyes: Yet Another Pilliga NSW Yowie Sighting
We’re heading to the notorious Pilliga Forest first up this week for yet another truck driver yowie sighting! If you’re new to the show or haven’t heard of the Pilliga Forest, it’s a massive, ancient semi-arid woodland covering over half a million hectares (more than 3,000 square kilometers between Coonabarabran and Narrabri), in north-central New South Wales, Australia. The Pilliga includes national parks, nature reserves, and state conservation areas, it features rugged sandstone landscapes, rich Indigenous heritage, and immense biodiversity. The Gamilaraay Nation has a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land spanning tens of thousands of years. Recognized as a vital biodiversity hotspot, it houses hundreds of native plant and animal species, including koalas, eastern pygmy possums, rare barking owls, and malleefowl. The Pilliga is also characterized by flat sandy plains, white cypress pine forests, ironbark, and ancient rock formations. It is also a place of high strangeness where truck drivers often refuse to stop. I’ve personally taken nine reports of yowies and other strange happenings from that area over the years, and there are many more stories out there that I’ve heard and I’m sure many that I haven’t.
Today we talk to one of those truck drivers, Baz. I first interviewed Baz about his yowie sighting in the Pilliga several years ago, so first up I’m going to share an excerpt of his original interview, and then I caught up with him a couple of months ago for a catch up chat. Baz shared what happened when he and a mate went looking for yowies in the Glenbrook/Blue Mountains area of NSW (another yowie hotspot) – and I’m talking a whole heap of what I’d call typical yowie activity and moments of feeling that nameless dread that so many people report. Baz also tells us about the time he had full blown sighting of a black panther, and how he’s worked out a great way to broach the subject of yowies with new people to find like-minded friends.

August 02 EP191 It Was Silvery Grey and Had a Conical Head: The Rossmore Yowie
Imagine you’re driving at night with your teenaged daughters in the car, it’s a quiet night and there’s very little traffic. You’re driving through Rossmore on the outskirts of Sydney NSW, an area with market gardens, open paddocks and a house here and there. Suddenly, you see an 8-10 foot tall, silvery-grey, hairy being with a conical head thundering down a driveway, cross the road in two bounds and disappear down the opposite driveway! That’s what happened to Jane and her daughters about 25 years ago, she remembers it vividly and she’s going to share it with you today. The fact there were two witnesses lends even more credence to this report. Jane is also one of those people who sees beyond the veil and has had a lifetime of high strangeness going on around her - and boy does she have some fascinating, spooky experiences to share with you!

We've got a ripper of a show lined up for you! Ian’s joining us to share some seriously chilling paranormal experiences in Far North Queensland (FNQ). While out cutting timber at Blackdown Tableland, he had an experience that absolutely terrified him - and he’s an ex-professional boxer who usually isn’t scared of much. Then over to Moranbah, the Isaac River and Garrawalt Creek for yowie sightings and encounters, both his own and his friends', including a yowie that fades out in front of the eyes and a yowie seen by a large group of about forty young people; and finally over to Townsville for some spooky paranormal action.

July 18 EP189 I Got the Fright of My Life! Yowie Sightings in Valencia Creek VIC and Kariong NSW Plus More High Strangeness
We've got an amazing show lined up for you today as we stay mostly in my home state of VIC, but also head to Kariong NSW and Exmouth WA. I first spoke with Steve several years ago when he told me about the large, grey-coloured, weirdly-moving being he suspects was a yowie that he saw in the Valencia Creek area. I heard from him again a few years later when he reported seeing a juvenile yowie up near Kariong in NSW. Sadly, I lost that recording so a couple of months ago I reached out to him to see if we could re-record it. Steve wrote back that he’d love to speak with me, that he was unwell and had a terminal illness, and that he’d like to share a few other weird things that he experienced over the years before he passes. We’ve got bizarre golden-skinned humanoids, a huge, bell-shaped UFO, yowies in Valencia Creek VIC and Kariong NSW, and more! Ready? Buckled up? Let’s go!

July 10 EP188 A Wave of Energy Hit Me in the Chest! Dooligarls in Cooloolabin QLD
We're heading to Cooloolabin QLD as Emma joins us to share her amazing yowie experiences. When she moved into her current place, she felt the dooligarl presence straight away. Emma set out to made friends with them, and I think you'll agree she did a fantastic job. From chittering, hooting, whistling and running around her home to red eyes and an intense energy wave that hit her in the chest, Emma's dooligarl experiences are remarkable. Emma also shares a fascinating idea she had as to why dooligarls seem to like gifting marbles.

June 04 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 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...
