We found it! We have proof! The Yowie existed! And maybe still does...
Zed and I frequent this park often to play and run around in. As Zed becomes more curiously aware, he tends to find the weird wonderful. We found a rare fossil that we believe to belong to the no-longer-mythical Yowie!
But! Before you scoff, allow me to explain...
Zed made the discovery. At first, I was nearly sick when he brought it to me but then I realised it wasn't normal. On a whim, we took the fossil home and began to research. We sent a sample for testing and received confirmation that it indeed does belong to the rarest known animal on the planet. Australian Yowie Research (AYR) has identified two types of Yowies that used to (and maybe still do) inhabit our land. Unfortunately, the analysis couldn't identify whether our specimen belonged to the larger 6-10ft variety or it's smaller 4-5ft cousin.
If we managed to find a viable coprolite here, then maybe they aren't extinct and the sightings are real. Maybe the Yowie does in fact live amongst us. In suburbia. Closer than we dare to believe...
AYR shows other evidence of the Yowie's existence on their website www.yowiehunters.com.au. Plenty of tee-pees and rock stacks found all across our country! Then I got to thinking... As a geocacher, I have come across plenty of tee-pees and rock stacks in our bush. Could I have been in their presence? On their turf?
Zed and I have hidden the coprolite for you to find. We're convinced but we'd like your professional geocaching opinions on it's authenticity.
Keep your eyes peeled and stay safe out there...
