What more can be written about the Yowie? How about the real story – the sensationalism, the fakery, the storytelling, the art of misidentification, the Bigfoot-style shenanigans of the internet-age, the New Age “nuttiness”. There are even a handful of very interesting cases but very little is known about them.

Ultimately, the Yowie is an all-too-human story rather than a biological (or even paranormal) one. Understanding the Yowie will go a long way to understanding the International Hairy Man of Mystery…

But, I also read the dubious photo story article mention by Night Stalker above. So then I googled ‘Brett J Green’ and came across details about his “Tails of a Warrior” series. Check it out and consider. Yowie Tales 1 suggest there are more to follow and after reading the Cropper/Healy classic on the subject, I am wondering what more one can write? Unless, of course, Mr. Green has been given access to the legendary Rex Gilroy’s purported 3,000 yowie sightings….

Despite having been commended for stellar work with the local scouting movement, Brett Green also has a long and well-documented history of fantasy and fakery (which is not mentioned by Williams). The “Tales of a Warrior” series are claimed to be transcribed from the diaries and notes of John and James Green 1840 to 1938 have been shown to be works of fiction written by Brett Green himself (Green’s family ancestors never even visited Queensland). Green also faked artifacts and was instrumental in the infamous Gympie Pyramid hoax.

Williams is correct in stating that the “two images purportedly of yowies, if proven to be real one day, could be some of the most important secondary evidence of unusual creatures ever recorded!” but fails to grasp that if the images are shown to be fake that it represents the tip of the iceberg of the subculture of Yowie fakery in Australia.
