The Yowie has been in Oz since as far back as native folklore goes which is at least 40000 years and fossil records could put it closer to 100000 years when they crossed into this continent over the natural landbridge from Asia. Some aboriginal tales tell of battles between humans and Yowies.

I've spent nights camped in Yowie country (sleepless nights) but nothing happened for me. Perhaps that was fortunate

Here is an article copied and pasted from their site about the man who took this picture. His name is Mr.Compton here is what he said:

Yowie hunter Paul Compton has long believed a giant animal lives in the Glen Innes district - and he claims he finally has photos to prove it.

Two days before Christmas, Mr Compton set up a wild view trail camera in an area north west of Glen Innes he has been watching for some time. A week later he returned, finding the camera - triggered by movement - had shot 921 images, including two showing a blurred black figure he claims to be the elusive animal.

“There had been a lot of activity there - rocks moved, broken tree limbs - I’d left a couple of cooked chops in a plastic bag in a tree about eight foot of the ground as bait, and when I returned it had been ripped apart,” he said.

Mr Compton estimates the shadowy figure to be about 35m from the camera, and estimates it’s height to be about (4 foot six inches) - “I took my son out and got him to stand in the same place and he’s about the same height”.

He says he believes the animal is a descendant of the giant ancient ape Gigantapithicus, which was in Asia tens of thousands of years ago.

“I’ve got hair at home that’s been identified by Dr Henner Fahrenbach from Oregon Regional Primate Research Centre in America who believes it to be a high primate and identical to the type of hair belonging to the (American) Big Foot or Sasquatch.”

Mr Compton, who has plaster casts of footprints, has become somewhat of an authority on big animals, and in October [2008] will be a guest speaker at the three day Mid American Big Foot Research Foundation conference in Oklahoma to talk about big animals in Australia.

Meanwhile, two commercial television current affairs programs are looking at the recently snapped photos.

“There’s never been a picture before, this could really put Glen Innes on the map,” he said.

So its not just a random picture of the woods people. It is very blurry, but there were over 900 pictures taken of the same area, assumably not showing this mysterious "tree stump" before. He also claims he put a bag of bait out, and it was ripped apart. Again it could have been anything, but it is one more thing to consider. Read the article.
