 Ms. Magazine | A Gallery of Dreaming: Aboriginal women create world-class art
Australian Aboriginal artist Gulumbo Yunupingu from Arnhem Land region won a $40,000 prize for her painted memorial poles seen behind her.
Dreaming is an Aboriginal term clumsily translated as “myth cycles.” Dreamings often involve epic journeys and contain knowledge critical in harsh desert territory — the whereabouts of water holes or bush tucker, for example.
Aboriginal painting uses a variety of symbols — large circles can represent water holes, wavy lines might indicate sand ridges — and Bessie decodes her work for me. She points to circles with S-shaped tendrils: “Sweet carrot,” she says, tendrils snaking outward, indicating root systems.

 Indigenous Australians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Aboriginal Evidence of the Hairy Man (The Yowie)
Europeans had been reporting sightings of 'hairy men' in the Jamieson, and the adjoining Cedar valley since the 19th century, while Aboriginal traditions indicate the region was inhabited by the Yowies for untold thousands of years before then.
To the Aboriginals, particularly the mountain tribes, the mere mention of the word (Yowie) was enough to inspire fear, causing scared looks and frightened exclamations, so convinced were they of the creature's existence...
They include two large carvings of a possible confrontation betwen an Aboriginal and a giant Hairy man. The Giant hairy man depicted on this rock shoal is over 300cm's (10 feet tall) the smaller figure possibly an Aboriginal warrior is considerably smaller although it's claimed it is a smaller Yowie female.

 Rex Gilroy's "The Australian Yowie Research Centre". Established 1965
In fact Australian settlers were seeing Yowies almost one hundred years before Europeans had ever heard of the Himalayan "Abominable Snowman".
Their physical description, as given by the Aborigines to early European settlers in the 1800's, also matches descriptions given by modern-day eyewitnesses, and I believe this will be significant in the eventual scientific classification of these creatures.
According to Aborigines, the yowies were terrifying to look upon: fearsome and hairy, up to or over 2.6 metres in height, with strong muscular bodies, powerful arms and large hands longer than a human's.
