Produktbeschreibung

There is a very widespread belief among Australian Aboriginal people that huge, shaggy, man-like creatures lurk in the continent's rugged mountains and deep forests. The mysterious beings, which have been encountered since time immemorial, are known by many names, including dulagarl, gulaga, jurrawarra, tjangara, noocoonah and wawee. In discussions with outsiders, the term "Hairy Man" is often used. In the early 1800s, when they began encountering the hulking horrors, British colonists employed terms such as "Australian apes", "yahoos" or "youries". Nowadays, they are generally referred to as yowies. In The Yowie (Anomalist Books, 2006), the authors presented a great deal of Aboriginal lore plus hundreds of eyewitness reports dating from the early colonial era.They assessed footprint finds, tree damage, yowie "nests" and other physical traces, and revealed seasonal variations in reported yowie activity. The book, in fact, contained everything they then knew about Australia's most baffling zoological - or anthropological - mystery. In this companion volume they present scores of recently unearthed colonial era reports and bring the yowie saga right up to date with the gripping testimony of dozens of modern era eyewitnesses. a
