   EP194 Its Arms Reached Below its Knees! Yowie Sighting At Sheepyard Flats VIC 2021 Plus Encounters at Orbost VIC and Licola VIC

   Our guest today, Jackson, is an avid camper. He went camping in February-March 2021 in the Sheepyard Flats, Howqua Hills VIC area. At one point, he got out to lock the vehicle’s 4x4 hubs in, heard a massive tree fall and footsteps and then saw a 8-10 feet tall hairy thing that he quickly realised wasn’t a deer. At first he thought it was some guy in a gorilla suit, but then quickly realised that was an unlikely scenario, and then he heard a grunt and noticed a pungent, rotting flesh/burnt plastic smell, and we all know what that means... Today Jackson shares this fascinating sighting plus other unnerving experiences near Orbost and Licola VIC. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   EP193 It Was 8-10 Feet Tall, Transparent and Glided Like It Was on Wheels - Puckapunyal VIC and Hornsby Heights NSW

   Today's show is an absolute ripper! Dean joins us with a few stories to share that will blow your mind. We’re in the Hornsby Heights/Galston Gorge NSW area, as well as Puckapunyal VIC where the army training base is. We’ve got UFOs and what seems like a possibly abduction, we’ve got a yowie sighting from when he was in the army training at Puckapunyal, and we’ve got a very strange story from when he was camping in the bush as a 15 year old that we suspect was yowie activity, but there are a few anomalies that are just plain bizarre. You can make your minds upon that one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   EP192 It Looked Like a Tree Stump with Arms and Two Red Eyes: Yet Another Pilliga NSW Yowie Sighting

   We’re heading to the notorious Pilliga Forest first up this week for yet another truck driver yowie sighting! If you’re new to the show or haven’t heard of the Pilliga Forest, it’s a massive, ancient semi-arid woodland covering over half a million hectares (more than 3,000 square kilometers between Coonabarabran and Narrabri), in north-central New South Wales, Australia. The Pilliga includes national parks, nature reserves, and state conservation areas, it features rugged sandstone landscapes, rich Indigenous heritage, and immense biodiversity. The Gamilaraay Nation has a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land spanning tens of thousands of years. Recognized as a vital biodiversity hotspot, it houses hundreds of native plant and animal species, including koalas, eastern pygmy possums, rare barking owls, and malleefowl. The Pilliga is also characterized by flat sandy plains, white cypress pine forests, ironbark, and ancient rock formations. It is also a place of high strangeness where truck drivers often refuse to stop. I’ve personally taken nine reports of yowies and other strange happenings from that area over the years, and there are many more stories out there that I’ve heard and I’m sure many that I haven’t. Today we talk to one of those truck drivers, Baz. I first interviewed Baz about his yowie sighting in the Pilliga several years ago, so first up I’m going to share an excerpt of his original interview, and then I caught up with him a couple of months ago for a catch up chat. Baz shared what happened when he and a mate went looking for yowies in the Glenbrook/Blue Mountains area of NSW (another yowie hotspot) – and I’m talking a whole heap of what I’d call typical yowie activity and moments of feeling that nameless dread that so many people report. Baz also tells us about the time he had full blown sighting of a black panther, and how he’s worked out a great way to broach the subject of yowies with new people to find like-minded friends.
