The Yowie Chronicles's video: STRANDED IN REMOTE YOWIE BIGFOOT COUNTRY: CHRONICLE 29: SPRINGBROOK PART 2: SOS SPRINGBROOK

This video is part 2 of a 3 part series documenting some recent expeditions in the Springbrook region QLD Australia. I was invited to join Dean Harrison and his team of researchers on these expeditions filled with adventure and at times trepidation. Part 2 documents a day we will not forget in a hurry. It was meant to be a short expedition to Little Nerang Dam in the Springbrook National Park to explore the area followed by a short walk up to the cars to head home. It soon became evident our plans would not eventuate as we would have like. The short walk back to the car turned into a day long trek that involved dodging snakes and scorpions, building rafts, swimming and overcoming cramps and dehydration and racing against time to avoid being stranded after dark with no equipment. We come across some interesting yowie related discoveries which were very cool. The Yowie, Australia's version of Bigfoot and the Yeti has been encountered by many since the 1870's. It is a common belief that there are 2 types of Yowie, the big one which is 7-10 feet tall and the smaller version being between 4-5 feet tall. Many believe the smaller Yowie to be the most dangerous with many accounts of this creature attacking people. Our Yowie story began in 2012 after reading a magazine article about Australia's "Yowie Hunter", Dean Harrison and his encounters with these creatures. As we read we learned these encounters occurred very close to where we lived which naturally seized our attention. Shortly after this my family and I were sitting around a campfire singing and toasting marshmallows when my wife suggested the strange growling coming from the riverbank might be the Yowie. I initially dismissed the idea until I needed firewood and it so happened the best firewood available was a pile of driftwood at the top of the river bank, right where the growling was coming from. As I made my way to within 10 metres of the wood pile a loud aggressive growl came from directly behind the wood pile where an 8-10 dropoff to a lower part of the bank was located. I froze for about 10 seconds, partially soiled my pants, regathered myself and took a couple more slow steps forward. The growl that followed was so aggressive and so blood curdling I freaked out, turned around and immediatey sprinted back to where my family was. We decided to drive our 4WD down to the edge of the river bank and shine the headlights. We saw and heard nothing for the rest of the night. The creature had disappeared. Since that first Yowie encounter we have had countless other encounters including sightings, growling, howling, footprints, heavy running and the list goes on.
