Giants From the Dreamtime the Yowie In Myth And Reality

Mammoth Mountain Bega 1909

Two metre tall hairy Man

Leaving the Snowy Mountains region for the far south coastal and inland districts, we find another area rich in 'hairy man' folklore. About 1909, a Mr. Charles saw a two-metre-tall hairy man in bushland oh his remote farm near the base of Mammoth Mountain outside Bega. The man-beast was observing him as he went about his work cutting timber. When he stopped to observe the hairy visitor it turned and walked off back into the scrub.

Narooma 1909

Large animal-black-haired Orangutan

Up the coast from Bega is Narooma, where early settler's tales are still recalled by residents; such as the story of Mr George H Warren, who as a young schoolboy about 1909, was swimming in a waterhole one day with other youths below the "Ben Paddock" near Nerrigundah.

All of a sudden the boys heard a terrific roaring sound coming from the nearby scrub. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a large animal;, black-haired and similar looking to an Orangutan, in the act of tearing back the scrub with powerful arms and emitting roaring sounds at them. The youths quickly gathered up their belongings and ran from the waterhole in great terror. Once again, we see in this description a Gigantopithecine, rather than more human creature.

Mammoth Mountain 1909

2 metre tall hairy man

About 1909 a Mr Charles, while cutting timber on his remote farm near the base of Mammoth Mountain outside Bega,. saw a 2 metre tall "hairy man" observing him as he went about his task, but when he stopped the hairy visitor turned and walked off back into the scrub.
