The '''Yowie''' is an imagined mysterious human-like creature that features in [[Australia]]n folklore; it is analogous to the Himalayan Yeti and the North American [[Bigfoot]].
In the early 19th century [[Aborigines]] often warned British settlers to beware of huge, ape-like creatures that lurked in the rugged mountains and deep forests of the island continent. Their people, they said, had been encountering the hairy horrors since time immemorial. They knew them by many names, including doolagarl, thoolagarl, jurrawarra and tjangara.
