Canberra-based TONY HEALY, who had already become intrigued by the bigfoot/sasquatch phenomenon while working in Canada in 1969, became involved in yowie research in the mid-1970s. PAUL CROPPER became fascinated by the yowie mystery in 1976, when he uncovered several long- forgotten eyewitness reports in colonial-era news- papers. Although then only 14 years old, he began visiting the Blue Mountains, to the west of his home in Sydney, searching for proof of the creatures' existence.
"Tony Healy and Paul Cropper have written the most compelling book
this year on one specific group of cryptids. It gathers the best
historical and contemporary accounts, evidence, and theories on
these less-than-fully-understood (outside of Australia) and
little-recognized unknown hairy hominoids. In one fell swoop, this
book may stand up for years as the one to consult about these
creatures. What the co-authors did for this unknown "species" -
Yowies, all - was this year unmatched in any other literary
treatment in cryptozoology.The Yowie is a model of organization and
completeness to be followed by future authors who wish to publish
their examinations of a body of data on one cryptid." - Loren
Coleman, Cryptomundo"The Yowie is a milestone work...It is no small
feat to create a classic and thorough reference book that is easily
readable by both the everyday person and the hardcore researcher
but this is what Healy and Cropper have done..." - Craig
Heinselman, Crypto"At last! ... The Yowie - In Search Of
Australia's Bigfoot, the book that Tony Healy and Paul Cropper have
been working on for the past seven years. It was worth the wait:
this book is far and away the best thing ever written about the
yowie mystery. It is destined to become an instant cryptozoological
classic..." - Cass, Dean Harrison's Australian Yowie
Research"...perhaps the best survey to date of the Yowie mystery."
- Daniel Perez, Bigfoot Times
