  • Yowie Sightings at Tallong and Wingellow - New South Wales 1990 & 2012
    Nov 23 2025
    Yowie Sightings of Moss Vale to Goulburn

    The Moss Vale to Goulburn districts of New South Wales are renowned for their expansive, untouched mountains and valleys. Anyone who has flown over this region would be struck by the vastness of these uninhabited forests, prompting curiosity about what might inhabit these remote and unexplored areas. The landscape itself is visually spectacular, painting a picture of raw natural beauty.


    Geographically, this area is situated between Sydney and Canberra, making it accessible yet largely uninhabited. Along the eastern side of the main highway that runs through the district, there is a rich and intriguing history of Yowie sightings, with reports stretching back over 200 years.


    Notable localities within this region include Bundanoon, Bungonia, Belango, Wingello, and Tallong, each with its own anecdotal accounts contributing to the area’s mysterious reputation.


    Sightings in the Moss Vale District

    Today, we turn our attention to two recent Yowie reports originating from nearly the same location within the Moss Vale district.


    The 1990 Tallong Encounter

    The first account dates back to 1990, when a woman camping in the district witnessed a Yowie squatting on a rock ledge.


    The Vanishing Yowie Phenomenon

    The Yowie appeared to simply vanish into thin air, leaving witnesses puzzled and questioning whether there might be a rational explanation for the event—or perhaps not. This mysterious disappearance continues to fuel speculation about the nature of these cryptic creatures.


    The 2012 Wingello Roadside Sighting

    The next documented sighting comes from 2012, just down the road at the small township of Wingello. In this instance, the Yowie observed was not as large as some previously reported, but its description matched established characteristics often attributed to the creature.


    Summary and Reflection

    Collectively, these two compelling reports indicate that the Moss Vale district may be significantly underrepresented in terms of Yowie sightings. This underrepresentation is likely due to the region’s sparse human population and the vast, inaccessible nature of its terrain.

  • Yowie Sighting at Dinner Plain - Victoria 2023
    Nov 19 2025
    Overview of the Victoria High Country

    The Victoria High Country, particularly the vast Victoria Alps, has been the setting for numerous intriguing Yowie sightings over the years. Although the Victoria Alps cover a greater landmass than the Blue Mountains located west of Sydney, the region has a far lower population density. This means there are fewer people present to witness or report Yowie encounters, which may contribute to the scarcity of documented sightings compared to more populated areas.


    Recent Sighting at Dinner Plain

    The latest report originates from Dinner Plain, situated next to Mt. Hotham. This particular account stands out due to the remarkable range of emotions expressed by the witness, spanning from an overwhelming sense of dread and the sudden realisation of complete vulnerability, to deep, lasting psychological impact.


    Emotional Impact on the Witness

    The emotion and anxiety in the witness’s voice were unmistakable—recounting the incident evoked a deeply emotional reaction. The witness spoke candidly, stating that there is no defence against such an encounter. In his words, “There’s nothing a man can do; you’re at its mercy.”

    He further explained that, prior to his experience, he often wondered why people in these situations didn’t take action. However, after his own encounter, he now understands: people are simply unable to act in those moments; it just doesn’t work that way. He described never having felt so helpless in his life.

  • Yowie Sighting at The Otways, Victoria - 2010
    Nov 4 2025
    Yowie Sightings in the Otways Region

    North from the Otways, one enters areas known for Yowie sightings, such as Colac. As the journey continues northwards, areas beyond Rokewood becomes more mountainous, and reports of Yowie sightings tend to increase.


    These areas have gained a reputation for being known for spasmodic Yowie activity.


    While this is an excellent report, we apologise for the audio quality—it was the best we could do at the time of recording.


    Descriptions of the Yowie often mention hair measuring seven to eight inches under the arms, reminiscent of an orangutan. This feature, along with a height of around eight feet and a heavily muscled build, resembling primate, yet exhibiting some human-like facial characteristics, are commonly reported in Yowie sightings across Australia.


    These attributes are consistent from the far north, to the very southern tip of the country, demonstrating that no corner of Australia is entirely free from Yowie encounters.
