The KSSTUS OF THE YOWIE
It was a summer afternoon in 1996. Peter and Belinda
Carfoot were on a driving holiday in Australia when
they stopped at the side of a quiet road to take a break
Then Peter saw something strange in the mirror
huge creature, around 2 metres tall
, with long arms and
a hairy body, was walking upright across the road. They
both tumed around and watched for around 10
seconds before it disappeared into the forest. They were
sure it was the Yowie.
The Yowie is a huge ape-like creature that some people
think lives in the Australian countryside. The Aborigines,
the original people of Australia, started telling stories
about the Yowie hundreds of years ago. Every so often,
there is a new sighting of this strange creature. Most
scientists, though, say there is no evidence which proves
that the Yowie exists. The Garfoots, for example, didn't
manage to take photos or record a video of the creature
they saw.
So, who knows what we should believe? Was the
b creature they saw actually a person dressed up in an ape
. costume? Was it just a large dog or fox which was
walking strangely? Whatever the truth, the mystery of
the Yowie carries on in Australia to this day.
