Barbie for the Yarbie

Mr McCoy still insists he has seen a Yeti even though there are no Yetis in Australia.
I still insist that he saw nothing but a Yarbie.
The circular “footprints” are due to the Yarbie’s habit of spinning in circles when he has had a few and his sense of direction gets confused.
There is a simple solution to this problem. Set a trap. I suggest as bait you use a carton of stubbies (preferably Toohey’s), and a large bottle of rum. Leave these items in an open space, in plain sight and early next morning I am sure you will find a dark figure curled around the empty carton using the empty rum bottle as a pillow.
We will all know then if it is a Yeti, Yowie or a Yarbie. Yeti, Yowie, Yarbie, now I am getting confused, set the trap please.
