Yowie Sightings in the Royal National Park
There are a handful of locations that stand out above the rest when it comes to repeated Yowie sightings. These are the areas south, west, and north of Sydney, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, and the alpine regions stretching from south of Canberra into Victoria’s central highlands.
Now we take you to the Royal National Park, just south of Sydney.
This expansive landscape of rugged mountains flows down toward other notorious areas, such as Mount Kembla and Mount Keira.
The first comes from a man in a boat, travelling at night up the West Arm, an inland estuary, to collect fresh water from the falls. Under bright moonlight, he was confronted by a towering, hairy figure, standing motionless on a rock ledge above him at the water’s edge.
The next sighting comes from the outer fringe of the park, at a place called Grays Point. What this witness saw was sudden, powerful, and deeply unsettling.
We apologize for the audio quality.
In July of 1987, one of the most dramatic Yowie incidents occurred at Woronora Dam, on the park’s northern edge—a case that made national news.
A group of eight young men reported seeing a massive Yowie, standing well over two metres tall, carrying the carcass of an animal. The creature let out a fierce growl before retreating into the scrub.
Shaken and rattled, the boys drove straight to the Engadine Police Station and filed an official report.

Danbulla State Forest forms part of the mountainous Great Dividing Range, which runs west of Cairns.
This is the same range that borders Red Hill, Cairns—the site of our last report, where a witness encountered a small Yowie with an expression shifted to anger; it clenched its fists, shouted, and charged the witness, pushing her in the back and over an embankment.
At the southern edge of Danbulla State Forest lies Lake Tinaroo, located in the Atherton Tablelands and constructed in 1953. The nearby township is home to only 300 residents—a small population on the fringe of a vast mountain range.
The physical characteristics of the Red Hill encounter closely match those of the Lake Tinaroo sighting. Both creatures were powerfully built, stood around 5 feet tall, and were seen within five years of each other. The coloration of height, colour and muscular build are very similar.
The sighting was in the same mountain range as the Red Hill incident, only five years apart.
Could this range be home to a lineage of Jingera—the small species of Yowie?

Following the story of the angry little orange creature in Jarrahdale, Western Australia, which we featured in our last podcast, let's take a journey to the east coast. This time, we arrive in Cairns, specifically an outer suburb called Red Hill. Years ago, Red Hill was part of an expansive never ending mountain range bypassing the west of Cairns.
Our witness was enjoying a casual walk up Red Hill, which, in 1990, remained largely undeveloped to the west. To the east, a school sat at the base of the hill. The walking trails that wound up and down Red Hill were popular with locals—walkers, hikers, and joggers frequented them daily. It seemed an ideal spot for anyone, including women looking to improve their fitness, to safely exercise.
What could possibly go wrong in such a peaceful setting?

It is not uncommon for grown individuals to be moved to tears following a personal Yowie sighting, or upon hearing another witness recount a similar experience. Such heightened emotions are often reported, highlighting the profound effect these encounters can have.
Witness testimonies frequently describe a Yowie’s initial reaction as one of shock upon realizing it has been seen. This can quickly be followed by a display of rage.
This Yowie’s expression shifted dramatically to anger, and it initially went on the offensive until the man lifted his arms in defense.

Yowie Encounter in Outback NSW
A Yowie witness accepted a close friend's invitation to travel to the far west of New South Wales to work in an opal mine. This remote experience was intended to provide solitude, aligning with a new spiritual journey.
Yowies have a reputation for appearing in the most unlikely places. This episode offers another compelling example. Despite the region's arid environment—characterised by red earth, hard clay, and rocks rich in lead, zinc, and copper—Yowie sightings have been reported from locations such as Broken Hill, Tiboo’burra, Wan’aaring, Bourke, and even as far as Wilcannia, where footprints have been discovered.
After many years listening to Yowie encounters, I believed I had heard it all, but occasionally a story surfaces that defies expectations. In this case, our witness forgot to extinguish his campfire before going to bed. Remarkably, a Yowie arrived and put out the fire by urinating on it. Shortly after, strong winds swept through—winds that could easily have spread the flames. The question remains: did the Yowie sense the risk?
Yowie interactions with fire are rare. Notable incidents include a sighting in Glenfield, NSW, where a Yowie sat beside a fire built by children, stretching its arms out to warm its hands. Another well-known figure is the Yowie called "Old Fire Hands" at Woy Woy.
Just when we think we’ve heard every possible report, a new encounter emerges to challenge our assumptions. By now, it should be clear: with Yowies, we must always expect the unexpected.

While clearing a fire trail through a gully in the dense forest between Torrington and Tenterfield, New South Wales, Eric unexpectedly came face to face with a creature he had never seen before.
The encounter occurred at a close distance of about five metres. Eric described the creature as standing at least 5’10” tall, walking on two legs, and possessing a snout that resembled those of a bear or a baboon. Its body appeared human-like, yet was completely covered in long, dark brown or black hair.
Upon noticing Eric, the creature emitted a loud hissing noise, then turned swiftly and ran away. In its retreat, it dropped to all fours, increasing its speed as it disappeared into the forest.
The fearsome nature of the creature left a strong impression on Eric. Later, he learned that a property owner in the same area had also reported seeing this mysterious Yowie.

This podcast features three distinct accounts from Yowie witnesses, each recounting their experience with the same creature at Woy Woy, New South Wales, in 1990. The Yowie in question became known as “Old Fire Hands”.
Reports of Yowie encounters are not limited to Woy Woy; numerous accounts have surfaced from neighboring areas such as Gosford, Ku-ring-gai Chase, Mooney Mooney, and the Brisbane Water National Park. These locations, with their breathtaking inland estuaries, mountains, and deep valleys, provide the ideal environment for Yowies to thrive.
The events of that night left a lasting impression on those boys—now adults—etched into their memories forever.
Sitting alone under a rock overhang at night, only to spot a Yowie watching nearby, would be unsettling for anyone.

Although the Dandenong Ranges might be considered a prime area for Yowie activity, actual sightings have been rare. Nevertheless, there have been a few notable encounters, including one particularly interesting report from Emerald, located on the outskirts of the Dandenongs.
This account involves a local pastor who, after taking a fern from a gully at night, encountered a Yowie that appeared to be displeased by the pastor’s actions.
In this podcast, two separate Yowie encounters are discussed. The second report originates from Malanda, a region near the Atherton Tablelands southwest of Cairns, which is recognized for frequent Yowie sightings.
In this case, both a husband and wife recount their experience of seeing a Yowie cross in front of their car. Their granddaughter, who was also in the vehicle, witnessed the creature as well.

In this podcast segment, we revisit the video compilation featuring various encounters at Wee Jasper, New South Wales.
Throughout the video, I included a series of brief audio recordings in which multiple witnesses recounted their experiences with the Yowie. During my research in the area for the video, I too had an unexpected encounter with a Yowie, at the very same location.
All of these encounters, including my own, occurred at identical locations in Wee Jasper and span several decades. The region is renowned for its extensive network of caves and tunnels winding through the mountains.
Many of these passages run deep beneath the earth, and it is likely that undiscovered caves still exist. It is reasonable to consider that Yowie clans may inhabit some of these unexplored spaces.
Since the video aired, there have been numerous requests to include a complete version of one particular witness report in this podcast series. Here, we present Brett Young’s account of a remarkable encounter he and his friends experienced.
Their story begins with a flat tyre, prompting them to walk back to camp just after dusk. The behavior they observed—being followed and stalked—aligns closely with what is often described as typical Yowie conduct.
It also highlights what I refer to as “The Golden Rule” of such encounters.

The Yowie Sightings of Wentworth Falls and Surrounding Areas
Wentworth Falls lies at the heart of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, perched above the sweeping Jamison Valley, adjacent to the Megalong Valley. Both valleys have a long history of reported Yowie encounters that span many years.
On the upper slopes to the east of Wentworth Falls are the townships of Lawson, Hazelbrook, and Woodford. These towns record the highest concentration of Yowie sightings, likely due to their larger populations providing more opportunities for encounters and reports.
Hazelbrook stands out as the place where I spent the most time with one particular Yowie, from whom I learned a great deal. This Yowie was the only friendly one I’ve ever interacted with; most encounters have been far less amiable.
In early 2003, we were contacted by a young man who had a close encounter with not one, but three Yowies late at night on Kings Tablelands Road in Wentworth Falls. This location, situated on the edge of an escarpment with cliffs nearly 200 metres high, has a notable history of sightings.
As you travel further along Kings Tablelands Road, the landscape becomes barren. The last building you see is an old, abandoned mental hospital. From there, the road turns to sandy dirt, with no houses in sight, growing ever more isolated as it ventures deeper into the forest. The surrounding wilderness is a vast network of creeks and valleys that seemingly never end.
It is a place where someone could live for years without seeing another human, should they choose such isolation. This area is also linked to countless historic Yowie sightings.
