Bongo's Pilliga Yowie Hoax Proves That Some Australians Are Just As Capable As Some Americans And Russians When It Comes To Hoaxing
The Yowie (also called Yahoo or the Great Hair Moehau in New Zealand) is an alleged hominid reputed to lurk in the Australian wilderness, similar to the Himalayan Yeti and the North American Bigfoot.
In 2006, a late-night caller to an ABC radio show captivated listeners - 'Bongo', as he called himself, claimed to have been abducted by a Yowie in the badlands of the Pilligia scrub (an area infamous for Yowies and sightings of the ghostly 'Pilliga Princess'). Before Bongo launches into his tale, straight off the bat he tells the radio presenter he's in a sanitarium, Happy Days Retreat, an improbably named nut house for the insane.
Explaining the story, one Australian wrote: "Bongo's tale is a bit of an Australian Campfire Tall Story. For a start, there is no such sanitorium in Australia called 'Happy Days Stay Retreat', nor has there ever been. It would be pretty hard to stand in queue waiting to make a call to a radio station from a place like that anyway, especially if it was long distance call."

You gotta love those Aussies. I would think they have to have their bloaks who are tall tale givers. I do believe the degree of preposterousness (new word) should show that it's best heard over the foam of a good local ale.
ReplyDeleteThe Yowie is the least likely bigfoot-like creature. There were no placental mammals (except bats) in Australia until the aborigines showed up with their dingoes 40,000 years ago or so. The only way for placental mammals to arrive in Australia was by flying or by boat. Somehow I really doubt the aborigines gave a boat ride to a Yowie. :)
ReplyDeleteGoogle Gondwana land my friend, Australia wasn't always an Island. You are correct about the placental mammals though.
DeleteIndians migrating to Australia more than 4,000 years ago may have introduced dingoes to the island continent, along with novel stone tools and new ways to remove toxins from edible plants, researchers say.

There wwere land bridges 12,000 years ago and before connecting australia with asia,a bipedal animal could have easily migrated all over the globe hence the sighting. Remember gorillas were only discovered officialy in 1902. Is it really that hard to believe?
DeleteAtheist haven't you seen the documentary on King Kong?
ReplyDeleteThere would have to be liars and hucksters there, in Russia, China and America because if not? NO Bigfoot!!
ReplyDeletePorn and hoaxing are best left to Americans.
ReplyDeleteTIM your right! I mean you sound like a man who has experiences with both so I will trust you!
ReplyDeleteHave you met bongo? You lot need to get ya head out ya bums. Am i nuts too? Cheers seasoned hunter.au
DeleteThis fellow has a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock mate which is our way of saying he is a few cents short of a dollar or has lost his marbles. Escapee from the luny bin! Must be a slow news day in BF land if you have to resort to running stories like this.
ReplyDeleteOne of the better enjoyments we have in this country is watching the shenanigans that you BF folk get up over there. What a bunch of Wally's. I am sure you get the gist of that.
To Anonymous above me- Thanks for not including the "Shelias"!
ReplyDeleteWell I guess we could be Wallys too in the way you were using the word but I kinda got mixed up a bit which fits very well now that I think about it.
ReplyDeleteFor gods sake people... its a gee up. Listen to his voice and who phones a radio station & instantly says they are in a loony bin ?. A bit of a yarn teller thats all that is... one to get the kids wound up like a jack in the box on camping nights.
ReplyDeleteI like his story though.....
uncle chop chop RIP he said never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn Bongo just taking his advice hows happy day stay treating ya bongo hahaha
DeleteHes there because some yowi tried to take him ...? Why is he nuts?ive seen this shit first hand . Biggest gem dealer in yhe world and im nuts too aye ..? Piss off eggs.i know bongo he was normal b4 it. Sorry but you lot are way off track
DeleteJust another nutcase wanting attention. I am always embarrassed by fellow Australians who try to impress with the "Aussie talk = Sheilas,Blokes,Shenanigans etc" and always overdo it. I guess it is similar to the Yo/Y'all/Biatch/ Tramp Stamp routine I see all the time on these forums but it is still embarrassing none the less.
ReplyDeleteJust ignore the idiots, no matter where they are from.
His encounter was definitely not a hoax. I dare you or anyone to go spend a night there.
DeleteYea agree try a night having dead animals thrown at your camp tell me hes nuts. Dare. Ill pay for your trip if i can record it .lol scared as bro strait up.
Deleteone summers day i saw bigfoot in pilliga.
ReplyDeleteDarragee . Near cooroo lands up qld. Fuck that i didnt know i had those nerves . Scared me right into baby mode. Cheers
DeleteAmericans are the biggest liars, even there non existent animals have to be bigger than the rest.. take the yeti it is suppose to be 6 ft tall and weigh 200-250lbs, then the yowie 7-8 foot tall 400-500 lbs, then you got the Yankee bigfoot 9-10 ft tall and 700-800lbs.
ReplyDeleteFinding bigfoot in Ausralia you have that simpleton Cliff explaining the surgical cuts on the guy who had his goats supposedly killed by a yowie, could not have been done by people.. Wtf an animal has supposedly been taken, had its guts slit, organs and brain removed and that evidence suggests it was not done by people... lol i almost wet myself at that stupid comment.
If you had your goats taken in the night from your farm&found them the next day 14 ft up in a tree with there organs and brains removed, what would you think could have done this? Cliff ruled out people&said it was probably a yowie
Cliff is irritating and stupid, he is convinced every crackpot is telling the truth, any story told he accepts as fact,he makes the story fit the evidence even when any normal person can see a dozen other explanations. Woodknocking... Got to be a Bigfoot, rustling in the leaves,Got to be a bigfoot watching us, owl screams in the distance, got to be a bigfoot copying an owl to confuse us as bigfoot often copies the sounds of other creatures... I bet if cliff got a prank call at 2am he would say it was probably a bigfoot pretending to be a person.. he is just as bad as simpleton Bobo and Moneymaker Matt.. neither have seen bigfoot, they just say they have, this impresses cliff&he wants to see one so accepts there lies and palms off there crap as fact.. at least Rannae has an open mind, the other 3 have bigfoot on the brain
DeleteOnce it happens you lose doubt and kinda realise its just s big bush ape that hides good. No drama we dont wsnt people to believe us its cool when you get s look at one or a cassowary or big deer . Just a big animal. Like i said no drama . Peace
DeleteCliff from finding bigfoot is a fool&believes just about anything anyone tells him, he tries to come across as all methodical and professional and then starts telling us about the habbits of the squatch& how the land could easily support these creatures as if that is proof of there existence.
ReplyDeleteA heard elephants or a pride of lions may well be able to survive there, but it dont mean they live there.
Are cliff and Bobo romantically connected, i doubt you would find a more compatible couple
y dont yall just accept there is no yowie no bigfoot fuckin hell
ReplyDeleteThere is something strange living in the Pilliga. I have heard it with my own ears. It was some time around 1986/87. Would not go so far as to call it a yowie but I've never heard anything like it in my life. It was pretty scary. Like some sort of wild animal, mountain lionish but with human expression. There appeared to be two calling to each other from a big distance.
ReplyDeleteThry are there no doubt . Call the coonabarraban police talk to the old cops. They will tell it how it is or go visit hickeys falls. Smells like shit there and dead animals all up in the bush in piles .very odd place
DeleteThanks for finally talking about > "Bongo's Pilliga Yowie Hoax Proves That Some Australians Are Just As Capable As Some Americans And Russians When It Comes To Hoaxing" < Liked it!
