Giants From the Dreamtime the Yowie In Myth And Reality

Kanagra Boyd National Park 1994

Enormous right foot Impression

Arguably the most remarkable discoveries of fossilised hominid footprints in Australia are being made by myself and associates in the Kanangra Boyd National Park, south-west of Katoomba, where the foot impressions of both normal human and giant-size creatures have been found, embedded in solid granite, formerly the ash and mud spewed out by countless volcanic eruptions.

The first discovery made by me in September 1994 while exploring this wilderness, was an enormous right foot impression displaying an opposable big toe, facing east upon a large granite slab. More ape-like than human, it measured 62 cm long by 36 cm wide across the toes, with a heel 21 cm wide and embedded 10 cm deep in the rock.

O'Rielly's Guesthouse 1993 and Lamington Plateau 1994

Small stone Tools

During two searches in the jungle-covered O'Rielly's Guesthouse area carried out by Heather and I in 1993 and 1994, I recovered a number of small stone tools of these pygmy Aborigines, and also at the foot of the Lamington Plateau at a site formerly part of a rain forest that had been cleared in recent years.

In both cases these tools were comparatively recent; those from the base of the plateau being no more than around 40 years old, while those found on the Lamington Plateau in the vicinity of O'Rielly's could not have been more than 10 years old, and even more recent specimens have been found by bushwalkers and campers supporting the claims of others to have seen some of these little folk roaming in this vast wilderness in recent years.
