Kilcoy, a small Australian town, is home to a monument dedicated to a 1979 encounter with a creature resembling Bigfoot. Tony Solano, who claims to have witnessed the event, shares his chilling memories of the night, decades later.
The small town of Kilcoy is not the site of the first, or even the most recent, “ Yowie ” sighting. And hunters of Australia ’s version of Bigfoot are no more likely to see it there than anywhere else in the country’s vast, rugged bushland. Yet, for decades, a vacant-eyed replica of a towering, hairy beast has stared into the distance from a plinth in the centre of town. It’s a monument to an astonishing encounter almost 45 years ago, one that Tony Solano says he’ll never forget.
” Bill McAulay planned Yowie boat rides, an illuminated Yowie Hall of Fame and Yowie safaris around the countryside, according to news reports from the early 1980s. None of that panned out but Yowies — or signs of them — aren’t hard to find in Kilcoy. Visitors can buy a Yowie loaf at the local bakery opposite Yowie Park, where you can grab a Yowie coffee, near the training ground for the local Yowie football club. Until a couple of months ago, the local Exchange Hotel sold a Yowie burger.
