Yowie is one of several names for an Australian folklore tity that is reputed to live in the Outback. The creature has its roots in Aboriginal oral history. In parts of Quesland, they are known as quinkin (or as a type of quinkin), and as joogabinna,
The origin of the name yowie to describe unidtified Australian hominids is unclear. The term was in use in 1875 among the Kámilarói people and documted in Rev. William Ridley's Kámilarói and Other Australian Languages (page 138)
Some modern writers suggested that it arose through Aboriginal legds of the Yahoo. Robert Hold recounts several stories that support this from the nineteth ctury, including this European account from 1842:
It Was Looking Right At Us': Dozens Claim Yowie Sightings On Far South Coast
The natives of Australia ... believe in ... [the] YAHOO ... This being they describe as resembling a man ... of nearly the same height, ... with long white hair hanging down from the head over the features ... the arms as extraordinarily long, furnished at the extremities with great talons, and the feet turned backwards, so that, on flying from man, the imprint of the foot appears as if the being had travelled in the opposite direction. Altogether, they describe it as a hideous monster of an unearthy character and ape-like appearance.[12]
Old Bungaree, a Gunedah Aboriginal ... said at one time there were tribes of them [yahoos] and they were the original inhabitants of the country — he said they were the old race of blacks ... [The yahoos] and the blacks used to fight and the blacks beat them most of the time, but the yahoo always made away from the blacks being a faster runner mostly .[13]
On the other hand, Jonathan Swift's yahoos from Gulliver's Travels, and European traditions of hairy wild m, are also cited as a possible source.

In the 1850s, accounts of Indigous Apes appeared in the Australian Town and Country Journal. The earliest account in November 1876 asked readers; Who has not heard, from the earliest settlemt of the colony, the blacks speaking of some unearthly animal or inhuman creature ... namely the Yahoo-Devil Devil, or hairy man of the wood ...
In an article titled Australian Apes appearing six years later, amateur naturalist Hry James McCooey claimed to have se an indigous ape on the south coast of New South Wales, betwe Batemans Bay and Ulladulla:
Changing Of The Guard At Yowie As Sales Guidance Pared
A few days ago I saw one of these strange creatures ... on the coast betwe Batemans Bay and Ulladulla ... I should think that if it were standing perfectly upright it would be nearly 5 feet high. It was tailless and covered with very long black hair, which was of a dirty red or snuff-colour about the throat and breast. Its eyes, which were small and restless, were partly hidd by matted hair that covered its head ... I threw a stone at the animal, whereupon it immediately rushed off ...[18]
McCooey offered to capture an ape for the Australian Museum for £40. According to Robert Hold, a second outbreak of reported ape sightings appeared in 1912.

Australian historian Graham Joyner maintains the yowie has never existed. He points out that it was unknown before 1975 and that it originated in a misunderstanding.
Joyner's interest has be in the nineteth ctury phomon known as the yahoo (also called the hairy man, Australian ape or Australian gorilla), a shadowy creature th se as an undiscovered marsupial but one that was presumably extinct by the early twtieth ctury. There is some evidce for its former existce (Joyner 2008, p. 109). His 1977 book The Hairy Man of South Eastern Australia
Yowie Sighting In Australia
Is a collection of documts about the yahoo. It was based on research begun in 1970 and summarised in a paper dated July 1973 ('Notes on the hairy man, wild man or yahoo', National Library of Australia MS 3889), at which time the yahoo had long be forgott and nothing had be heard of the alleged yowie. He has since explained that the book was published to promote the former and to counter, not to dorse, the th new and extraordinary claims about the latter (Joyner 2008, p. 10).
According to Joyner, the notion of the yowie arose following a review in a Sydney newspaper of John Napier's 1972 book Bigfoot: The Yeti and Sasquatch in Myth and Reality, Jonathan Cape, London. In response the cryptozoologist and ufologist Rex Gilroy, citing an Aboriginal figure from western and ctral Australia called the Tjangara, made the astonishing claim that Australia was home to its own Abominable Snowman. However, the image of the ormous primate that Gilroy evtually prested to the Australian public in May 1975 as the yowie, while overtly modelled on exotic forms like the yeti, was appartly inspired by muddled recollections from the newspaper's readers of much earlier stories about the yahoo (Joyner 2008, pp. 5–8). On this estimation only the yahoo has (or more accurately had) a basis in reality.
