Australia's Yeti or Bigfoot, the Yowie
1882 A letter appeared in the The Australian Town and Country Journal, written by a naturalist, HJ McCooey, who reported seeing a strange creature in the bush on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, in 1880. The location was in wilderness between Bateman's Bay and Ulladulla.

This creature is sacred to the aboriginals, much has been said and written about it, most of it uninformed nonsense, the correct name is dooligarl (or duligal if you like to spel it that way), they have been seen in this region (far south coast nsw0 as recently as 1990, but i have this sad feeling that there may no longer be any left alive, so rapid has been the expansion of "civilisation" in these parts. They smell like rotting vegetation which is a major part of their diet. Many aboriginal people who have seen them do not tell any but a few friends, they are scared of being labelled as mad and the creature being trivialised by the media.
there was a yowie walking around our camp site in the pine forests near bombala that place should be checked out thats all i have to say
I know there is a Dulgar just before you enter Sanctuary Point in NSW, and I recently read about all the one's in the Eurobodalla region, they seem to be all over the place there, which kinda makes sense when you think about it.
I have a tile with a print (of a painting) called "Dulgar" by Colin Isaacs who is half Dharawal.
I don't know if they are metaphysical beings or whatever, all I know is I definitely have a healthy respect for the one near Sanctuary Point.
