Yowsers

I was given an article from a magazine about the creature that roams the Australian bush and they referred to It as a Yowie. Thank You!
Australia is alive and well informed, not so the idiots who kept referring to this creature as a Yeti.
This writer has also received a report that our local Yarbie is still running loose. He was seen running through the bush. Dogs were not chasing him this time, he was chasing the dogs and I believe a couple of feral pigs were trying to get away as well.
Australia, what a great country. We’ve got the Yowie and the Yarbie.
