Yowie Sighting on Nowendoc Road: The 2009 Mt. George Encounter

In August 2009, Faye Burke and Alana Garnett were driving along the isolated Nowendoc Road at 7:30 PM. As they approached Connelly’s Creek Gap, near Mount George, they found themselves in a region west of Taree and east of the Barrington Tops.

This area, located within the Great Dividing Range (GDR), is widely recognized for an abundance of Yowie sightings. Nowendoc Road itself parallels an expansive mountain range.

Geographically, Mount George is situated between Coffs Harbour to the north and Newcastle to the south, placing it squarely in a region that has been central to numerous Yowie sightings over the years. As such, this encounter is unlikely to be the last of its kind in the area.

We continue with another truck driver who made the fateful decision to stop on the Newell at night.

(The audio recording of his account is of poor quality due to bad phone reception.)

The driver still has a sick physical reaction when recalling the incident, describing it as more traumatic than any time he had spent in jail. He explains his encounter with a Yowie, that struck the vehicle so forcefully, it rocked his fully loaded 44-ton truck—a detail reminiscent of the 2019 Witheren (Qld), report.

Over the years, numerous reports of Yowie sightings have emerged from the Pilliga and its surrounding areas. The Newell Highway, particularly the desolate stretch between Coonabarabran and Narrabri, has become deeply embedded in Australian folklore. This road is infamous for accounts of mysterious beings and unexplained phenomena appearing during the dead of night.

The 120-kilometer route through the forest is isolated, with few, if any, residents. Many truck drivers have recounted their reluctance to stop on this stretch at night, even when facing mechanical issues like blown tires. Instead, they would continue driving to the nearest town rather than risk stopping.

The Newell Highway is home to some of the most iconic mysterious sightings in Australia. Reports include Yowies pulling slats from the sides of parked trucks, animals vanishing, sightings of UFOs and floating orbs, and tales of the infamous Pilliga Princess who wandered the road at night.

One particularly unusual story, reported to Duncan Rhodes from Nexus Magazine, involved two men who stopped don the side of the road, answering the call of nature. One man, venturing deeper into the bush, noticed something strange on the ground. Upon investigation, he found a hatch and, lifting it, saw a ladder descending to a brightly lit railway line that officially does not exist. Feeling uneasy, he left the area. Later, after the experience continued to trouble him, the men returned to search for the hatch but were unable to locate it again.

The Pilliga remains a place shrouded in mystery, with stories of missing persons and warnings against walking alone at night. The sheer number and variety of stories and legends associated with the region make it impossible to ignore.

Booie is situated just east of Kingaroy, right in the heart of Queensland’s renowned Yowie country. This region stands out as one of the most prominent areas in Australia for reported Yowie sightings.

While modern reports of Yowies rarely mention creatures with tails, a significant incident occurred in May 1954 near Booie. Three boys reported a direct encounter with a large, upright creature, standing approximately six feet tall and covered in dull grey hair.

The creature, which emerged growling from a cave and pursued the boys, was notably described as having a tail that reached all the way to the ground.

Remarkably, around sixty years after the original Booie event, a very similar sighting was reported in the same district, near Mapleton. The creature described in this later account closely resembled the one seen in 1954, including a tail.

Historical records of Yowie encounters are just as significant as contemporary reports. They provide valuable knowledge and contribute to a comprehensive database, forming a foundation for deeper understanding of the Yowie.

Each new documented case, such as the recent Mapleton sighting, becomes part of the official historical record.

The witness from this report reflected, “It’s something I always think about, but I’ve only told a few people.” This admission prompts an important question: how many other sightings of tailed Yowies have occurred throughout history, but remain unreported?

Careful documentation of these encounters is crucial.

Preserving these stories ensures they become a lasting part of Australian history and provides future researchers with a valuable resource for ongoing investigation.
