Now this part is breaking down what I saw, and what my neighbour saw. I thought about it later at home and had noticed that the beast was most probably licking the bbq. When I disturbed it with the torch, it turned it's head fast to look towards me and banged it's head quite hard on the steel post holding up the shelter right next to the bbq and maybe got angry about hitting hit head, thus blaming me ( I don't know). Then it stood up for a second, so I could see where it's head was in relation to the top of the shelter. It then came towards me quite fast by reaching out it's two arms to the top of the steel fence rails that were about 1.2m high, these rails were 1.8m away from where it stood( I measured them later). 

       The beast managed to launch itself over the rails for approx. 3.0m onto the ground and proceed on all fours towards me. Had I zipped up the door  flap, just as I got out like I normally do, I am quite sure it would have reached me, and through my fear, I am sure it would have killed me. From my location and due to not very strong overhead lighting of the Stobie pole, and my torch light shining on it being not very stable at the time, I couldn't really see it's face properly, so I cannot say that I saw fangs on the outside of it's mouth, like my neighbour saw.

        What my neighbour explained to me the next day, what he saw, he had never seen anything like it before, and had all his life wildcamped in Australia, never heard anything, nor saw anything like it. His exact description was that the beast ( he didn't know that it was a yowie at that time), stood as tall as his Jayco Camper, when he shone his torch light onto it, he was standing on his floor looking UP at it through his flyscreened window, and the beast was looking down at him. Now like I said his camper was on a raised section of the camp ground, a metre above me. My camper was parked approx 1.4m from the raised wall of his camp spot. My neighbour said, the beast had bright red glowing eyes, light haired face no neck, couldn't see it's ears, and small fangs about 25mm long on the upper and lower parts of the outside of it's mouth and he said it looked mean and angry, he just collapsed at that point on to his bed, turned off the torch  and with what little light was outside, the beast then turned and proceed to walk on two feet around my camper.

         The Damage

          What woke my neighbour up, was the Yowie impacting with the front of my camper, specifically my steel storage box on the front of my camper. This storage box is made out of galvanised steel sheeting approx 1100mm long by 400mm deep, and 450mm high, and you can still buy them from Supercheap. Inside the box were two 4.5k Gas bottles, and they were located on the right side of the camper if you are looking forward towards the "A" frame. The yahwee hit the box with such force that it put a 150mm dent into the front of the right side of the box, pushing  the gas bottles backwards and making an outwards dent on the back side of the box by also 150mm.  As I was standing up right next to the bed inside. it knocked me off my feet, right onto the bed. Not only did it dent the box, it shifted the whole camper back about 300mm. Now the camper had the hardfloor down onto a large rack which was on the ground, the rear stays were down, the front stay was down, as well as the jockey wheel which was sitting in a rubber wheel chock. That is a lot of force required to push against the camper set up like that, and also causing the stays to be bent. The rather thick tent wall's were scratched and had indentations where it's fingers stretched the material. 

         The Indigenous Elder

        After this incident, I sought out the local indigenous people, about it, as some info in the town library, stated the  Local Indigenous tribes back in the 1800's had Lore about who were  these "Ape Men" white people were seeing at the time, I was put onto an elder ( now deceased 18 months ago) that did have some knowledge about this "Wild Man". He was not too talkative initially as he had in the past told white people and even his own people and they basically laughed at him. It wasn't until I explained my encounter that he was willing to talk some about it. He explained that they are a nomadic race, and this is why aboriginals in the past had seen them, and even interacted with them. When I told him exactly where it happen and what I thought the yahwee was doing, that is licking the bbq, he stated, they don't readily interact with people, and would only do it if they were starving or lacking in wildlife to hunt. I explained to him,. that in the last two months leading up to the incident, that the wildlife had virtually disappeared in the area. He said that would explain it, also, as the yahwee's used to hunt in our area, and did so up until the last siting that he knew about was in the early 1940's, that maybe this yahwee was a lone one, could have been exiled by it's family or could be the last of it's race in this area.

         A couple of months later I heard that the Elder wasn't too well, and I wanted see him again. When I did see him, he was quite talkative about the matter, and asked me where I thought their habitat was and I stated that an area I came through on a bush cycling trip , back in 2016, I had also noticed was lacking in much wildlife. This was the edge of a quite well forested National Park, and he said that's where they have mainly come from, and probably inhabit that area more now due to how many people are about today. It is a very Large National Park. What I did see in there were a few dingo's, but not much else. I said my goodbye's, thanked him for the information and wished him well, he died a couple of months later.

          So yes, I am pretty sure this National Park is where they live, or mainly live, it links up to 4 more National Parks or state parks, they have a large area to hunt from, why that one was over here, I do not know, maybe what the elder said that it could have been exiled, or was the last of it's kind rings true BUT, and that is a  big but, other "yowies" have been seen in the area so maybe he the Yahwee is not alone.
