- Danae Harris

“Seriously. At least 100 years of the yowie myth being spread from generation to generation and neighbour to neighbour. Total codswallop.” - Lorraine Cook

“My mum lived in the hills outside of Mullumbimby when I was a kid. There were a few crazy people around and one was a lady that would come out on a full moon, wander in the bush, bash her head against rocks in the creek and howl at the moon.” - Rachel Stagg

“When you consider how much bushland there is, I wouldn’t be surprised if something unknown could exist without ever or rarely seen.”
