Yowie Traditional Cache

Yowie is one of several names given to a hominid reputed to live in the Australian wilderness. The Yowie resembles the Himilayan Yeti and North American Sasquatch. The yowie is said to be a hairy and ape like creature standing upright at between 2.1m and 3.6m.

Yowies were first seen at Kilcoy in 1980 by two youths out pig hunting. Over the years, the yowie has been sighted in the hills around Kilcoy numerous times and the area contains folklore surrounding this creature and has its roots in aboriginal oral history.  The local football team is called the Yowies after this mythical creature.

The park is a lovely area with toilets and BBq's, a fenced play area close to a very pretty lake that has a walk dedicated to servicemen of the area. It also contains the local arts centre, Historical society, information centre and a craft house. the local swimming pool is beside the park as is the local footy grounds. Across the road is a service station and bakery.
