Australia has its own version of Big Foot reaming the isolated mountain forests of NSW, according to dedicated Yowie - hunters.They claim that the virtually inaccessible forests and gullies of our most rugged regions are hiding the last survivors of a race of large, ape - like, hairy creatures.But the Australian yowie, said to be a 210-240cm tall erectile vegetarian primate, is proving as elusive as his northern hemisphere cousins.No skeletons, or even a strand of hair, have been found which could be put forward as conclusive proof of its existence. Yet believers point to plaster casts of footprints, Aboriginal cave drawings of an ape-like creature and sightings by campers in remote areas to fuel their hopes of finding a Yowie, alive or dead.
