1932 Yowie Sightings in Queensland: Correspondent Reports Monkey-like Creatures Killing Livestock

In a fascinating video from the YouTube channel "Where's My Yowie," Jamie shares an old newspaper report about Yowie sightings near Bauple Mountain in Queensland, Australia, from 1932. The article, published in the Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser on Tuesday, July 16, 1946, tells the story of a local resident, Mr. James Kavanagh of Gandia, who had a series of encounters with what he believed to be large monkeys or gorillas. According to Mr. Kavanagh, these animals were responsible for the deaths of his pigs, which were either taken away or had their lives crushed out of them. The mysterious creature seemed to have a preference for the jugular vein, as evidenced by the fact that it would only drink the blood and not touch the body. Mr. Kavanagh also mentioned that he had lost approximately 40 pounds due to these losses. The local police were informed of the situation, and Mr. Kavanagh expressed his belief that there was more than one of these animals prowling around the area. He even offered to assist anyone who was interested in hunting down the creature, suggesting that it might be located on the western side of Bauple Mountain. The article also mentions that Mr. Ferry, a resident of the area, was willing to help track down the Yowie and bring it back alive if possible. He even invited citizens with knowledge of Bushcraft or Boy Scouts who wished to put their skills to the test to join him in his quest. The video is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Yowie sightings in Australia and serves as a reminder that the search for these elusive creatures continues to this day.
