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.

The latest Yowie report originates from a region renowned for previous sightings, situated on the eastern side of the rugged mountainous Great Dividing Range (GDR), between Coffs Harbour to the north and Nambucca to the south. This location continues to be a hotspot for unusual activity and encounters.

While there have been numerous accounts of Yowies running in front of, alongside, or even chasing vehicles, the speed observed in this particular report is unprecedented.

This raises the question of whether this event borders on the paranormal?

Certainly not the place to run out of fuel.

Yowie Sighting on Nowendoc Road: The 2009 Mt. George Encounter

In August 2009, Faye Burke and Alana Garnett were driving along the isolated Nowendoc Road at 7:30 PM. As they approached Connelly’s Creek Gap, near Mount George, they found themselves in a region west of Taree and east of the Barrington Tops.

This area, located within the Great Dividing Range (GDR), is widely recognized for an abundance of Yowie sightings. Nowendoc Road itself parallels an expansive mountain range.

Geographically, Mount George is situated between Coffs Harbour to the north and Newcastle to the south, placing it squarely in a region that has been central to numerous Yowie sightings over the years. As such, this encounter is unlikely to be the last of its kind in the area.

We continue with another truck driver who made the fateful decision to stop on the Newell at night.

(The audio recording of his account is of poor quality due to bad phone reception.)

The driver still has a sick physical reaction when recalling the incident, describing it as more traumatic than any time he had spent in jail. He explains his encounter with a Yowie, that struck the vehicle so forcefully, it rocked his fully loaded 44-ton truck—a detail reminiscent of the 2019 Witheren (Qld), report.

Over the years, numerous reports of Yowie sightings have emerged from the Pilliga and its surrounding areas. The Newell Highway, particularly the desolate stretch between Coonabarabran and Narrabri, has become deeply embedded in Australian folklore. This road is infamous for accounts of mysterious beings and unexplained phenomena appearing during the dead of night.

The 120-kilometer route through the forest is isolated, with few, if any, residents. Many truck drivers have recounted their reluctance to stop on this stretch at night, even when facing mechanical issues like blown tires. Instead, they would continue driving to the nearest town rather than risk stopping.

The Newell Highway is home to some of the most iconic mysterious sightings in Australia. Reports include Yowies pulling slats from the sides of parked trucks, animals vanishing, sightings of UFOs and floating orbs, and tales of the infamous Pilliga Princess who wandered the road at night.

One particularly unusual story, reported to Duncan Rhodes from Nexus Magazine, involved two men who stopped don the side of the road, answering the call of nature. One man, venturing deeper into the bush, noticed something strange on the ground. Upon investigation, he found a hatch and, lifting it, saw a ladder descending to a brightly lit railway line that officially does not exist. Feeling uneasy, he left the area. Later, after the experience continued to trouble him, the men returned to search for the hatch but were unable to locate it again.

The Pilliga remains a place shrouded in mystery, with stories of missing persons and warnings against walking alone at night. The sheer number and variety of stories and legends associated with the region make it impossible to ignore.

Booie is situated just east of Kingaroy, right in the heart of Queensland’s renowned Yowie country. This region stands out as one of the most prominent areas in Australia for reported Yowie sightings.

While modern reports of Yowies rarely mention creatures with tails, a significant incident occurred in May 1954 near Booie. Three boys reported a direct encounter with a large, upright creature, standing approximately six feet tall and covered in dull grey hair.

The creature, which emerged growling from a cave and pursued the boys, was notably described as having a tail that reached all the way to the ground.

Remarkably, around sixty years after the original Booie event, a very similar sighting was reported in the same district, near Mapleton. The creature described in this later account closely resembled the one seen in 1954, including a tail.

Historical records of Yowie encounters are just as significant as contemporary reports. They provide valuable knowledge and contribute to a comprehensive database, forming a foundation for deeper understanding of the Yowie.

Each new documented case, such as the recent Mapleton sighting, becomes part of the official historical record.

The witness from this report reflected, “It’s something I always think about, but I’ve only told a few people.” This admission prompts an important question: how many other sightings of tailed Yowies have occurred throughout history, but remain unreported?

Careful documentation of these encounters is crucial.

Preserving these stories ensures they become a lasting part of Australian history and provides future researchers with a valuable resource for ongoing investigation.

Yowie Encounter in the Remote Australian Wilderness

The Kowmung and Coxs River region lies at the heart of some of Australia’s most rugged, mountainous terrain. It is situated just below the southern side of the Blue Mountains. Characterized by high peaks and deep valleys, this untamed land provides an ideal habitat for a Yowie to remain hidden from humanity.

Three friends set out on a challenging 6 and a half hour mountain bike ride across unforgiving terrain, journeying to a remote location to fish for trout and camp far from civilization.

Camping beside a running river can be unsettling—its constant sound often disguises other noises, whether familiar or unknown. The rushing water may imitate voices or footsteps, or completely mask them, heightening the sense of isolation.

At this secluded site, the witnesses felt the presence of something unusual. According to their account, the nights felt particularly tense. Early mornings spent fishing were accompanied by strange sounds from the ridge above and an intense sensation of being watched—an experience frequently reported in areas with Yowie activity.

The Yowie was seen on the side of the river, leaning over and cupping its hand to drink the water.

Humans rarely run through dense thickets of thorns, leaving behind clumps of hair, nor do they possess the stamina to charge up mountains, outpacing three young athletes. The creature in question did not match the description of any known person: standing nearly 7 feet tall, weighing around 130 kg, covered with thick, matted hair up to three inches long, and possessing deep-set eye sockets.

The memory of this encounter remains as vivid today as when it happened. According to many who have experienced similar events, a Yowie encounter is unforgettable—it leaves a lasting mark on those who witness it.

This report presents observations and stories about Yowies, shared by an Indigenous man named River. Drawing from both heritage perspectives and first-hand experiences, River offers a detailed account of encounters and beliefs related to Yowies across various locations in New South Wales, including the Pilliga, Thora, and Wallaga.

River provides insight into the different types of Yowies recognized within Indigenous heritage. These distinctions are shaped by traditional knowledge as well as personal experiences, enriching the understanding of these mysterious beings.

The interview features a variety of fascinating stories. River’s accounts highlight unique events, such as the rare sighting of an entire family of Yowies—a phenomenon seldom reported.

A repeated sentiment throughout the discussion is the caution against venturing alone into the bush at night. This advice is consistent with warnings documented in the 1800s, underscoring the longstanding awareness of potential dangers in remote areas.

River notes occurrences such as the moving of large rocks on people’s properties, a phenomenon reported on multiple occasions. These unusual activities contribute to the enduring intrigue and mystery surrounding Yowie encounters.

The name "Chewbacca" is frequently used to describe the general appearance of a Yowie. Witnesses often refer to "Orangutan" when describing the color and look of the Yowie’s hair. While there are black and white Yowies reported, the most common hair color described is a reddish brown. Some witnesses have noted longer hair under the arms, further enhancing the resemblance to an orangutan.

The orangutan’s closest relative, Gigantopithecus, was believed to have been extinct for some time. However, evidence shows these creatures once lived in Indonesia, right near Australia. When sea levels rose and severed the land corridor connecting Australia to the rest of the world, any creatures present became landlocked—remaining isolated on the continent.

Yowies in this area are often described as being covered in matted, orangutan-colored hair, with deep-set, large eyes that lack visible eye color—only dark or black eye balls. Their facial skin appears gray. Some speculate that the orange-colored Yowie may represent its own distinct species.

Wollomombi is situated just west of Coffs Harbour and east of Armidale, within the Great Dividing Range. This region is known for frequent reports of Yowie and Big Cat sightings.

When first discovered, this creature’s reaction was one of shock, but, unlike many other cases, this did not escalate into aggression. Likely, it sensed more humans approaching and chose to flee. Notably, Yowie behavior can differ between day and night, and between encountering solo hikers versus groups, highlighting the importance of safety in numbers.

Rotting Flesh or Roadkill

The most commonly reported smell linked to Yowie sightings is that of rotting flesh or roadkill—a foul, overpowering odour that can induce nausea or even vomiting.

Rotting Garbage

The second most frequently described scent is that of rotting garbage. This odour is often considered to fall under the same category as rotting flesh, given their similar characteristics.

Sulphur and Electrical Smells

A third reported odour includes a mix of sulphur, Bakelite, and burnt wiring.

It is important to note that not all Yowie encounters involve these smells.

The presence of a pungent odour, combined with feelings of being watched and a nameless dread, is frequently associated with encounters that are perceived as aggressive.

Such experiences are highlighted in reports from witnesses.

The lonely road between Coonabarabran and Narrabri, known as the Pilliga, has a reputation for strange occurrences. Truck drivers often refuse to stop there at night—even when faced with a flat tire.

For decades, local service stations have displayed photographs of track damage attributed to unknown creatures.

Nearby, Hickeys Falls offers a tranquil waterfall and swimming hole where drivers may pause for rest.

Witnesses have reported incidents at Hickeys Falls where vehicles were run off the road by an unknown entity darting in front of them.

This is not the first account of Yowies displaying such behavior; some witnesses believe these incidents are intentional, reflecting the creatures’ heightened awareness of approaching cars on quiet rural roads.

The phrase “Never stop in the Pilliga at night” is widely recognized and echoed among motorists and truck drivers.

The experience described at Hickeys Falls mirrors the author’s own encounter at Wee Jasper in May 2025—an impressive demonstration of strength by a creature more powerful than any human.

The raw power of a Yowie is remarkable, and for those who experience it firsthand, the event often proves life changing.
