Giants From the Dreamtime the Yowie In Myth And Reality

Packsaddlers 1978

Hairy ape-like Creature

One December day in 1978, Mr. Steve Delainy was bushwalking in Megalong Valley, when, as he worked his way through the dense undergrowth of a forest in the vicinity of "Packsaddlers", he spotted a six-foot-tall, hairy ape-like creature moving among nearby bushes. It was enough for young Steve to turn around and return the way he had come, but at a much faster pace.

Kanagra Wall 1978

Long armed man-like Creature

In March, 1978, another group-Ted Graham, Peter Collins, Jean Bailey and Betty Nile-were camped below Kanangra walls while exploring the valley. Walking along a track about 4 pm they saw, 133 metres ahead of them, a long-armed manlike creature 2.4 metres in height.

"It seemed to walk with a stooped gait, its arms moving about as it did so. It stopped, turned and looked in our direction, then moved off." Ted said.

Currumbin Creek August 1978

Enormous dark Shape

Our investigations switched to Currumbin Creek. One night in August 1978, Len Rowe and his wife Glenda were camped by this creek, when they were woken by a loud splashing sound 20 metres away down the creek.

They caught sight of an enormous dark shape disappearing into the jungle, accompanied by sounds of crashing foliage. They then detected a foul stench about the area. This strong stench turns up repeatedly in sightings reports, and, as I have already pointed out, appears to be a world-wide occurence in regard to the Yeti, Bigfoot, and so on.
