The You Yangs Yowie (Gigantopithecus Australis) is renowned for its ability to see and not be seen. This creature has had mystical status for many years.

It is said that there was a tribal war between the Yowies and the Murrays. The Yowies lost convincingly as they were smaller and fought unarmed. Consequently, they fled to the mountains and went into hiding.

There have been around 3000 sightings, yet no scientific confirmation of the species is available.

Until now!

Take your chance to see the Yowie in its most natural habitat on 14th October 2012.

Ride the wild trails in search of the mystical creature that has made its home in the You Yangs. The Yowie can emerge from the ground and move through the bush as though it is as fast as the wind and as silent as the moonlight. It is there...but...it is not. Listen for the sound of drumming that is often heard when the Yowie is thought to be active.

You may not see the Yowie but it will see you!

NB: THE YOU YANGS YOWIE IS CONFIRMED TO BE FRIENDLY BUT MAY BECOME HOSTILE IF APPROACHED WITHOUT CAUTION.
