Yowie sighting in New South Wales, Australia

1970s ยท Tweed Heads, New South Wales, Australia

Two boys aged 11 or 12 saw a very large dark-haired figure walk down a ridge near a swamp at South Tweed Heads at sunset, while bellowing sounds came from a shaking tree.

The account itself raises a hoax or a misidentification.
