In fact, early farmers of the valley often blamed the Aborigines for stealing their vegetables, but the local tribespeople claimed the yowies were responsible, pointing to the distinctive, often larger-than-human footprints left about the vegetable plots by the creatures.
The early Aborigines hereabouts were not the only ones who took the yowies seriously: the early white settlers living on the fringes certainly did, judging by the many tales that have come out of the region from the 1800's.
When questioned by early settlers about the creatures, the Aborigines often insisted that the yowies were terrifying to look upon yet were harmless to man unless provoked or their young endangered, or if anyone decided to stay too long in any location that the creatures had already chosen as 'their "territory.

 The Australian Yowie Research Centre Established in 1965 By Rex Gilroy. All Rights Reserved
What we have uncovered is evidence, not only of the Yowie, but also of a stone-age history of Australia that will startle many people; a history that extends far, far back beyond the time of our Aborigines to the age of Java Man and even earlier mystery races that once walked our land.

 * Dusted Reviews - Yowie *
Though the Yowie, Australia’s version of Bigfoot, is native only to the island continent, St. Louis has its own three-limbed variety of the hairy beast.
Yowie are the spastic, elastic-limbed progeny of the forefathers of prog, purveyors of a heady mix of energetic fervor and intelligent complexity.
Still, as with their Australian namesake, St. Louis’ Yowie is an entity of rather distinctive qualities, and while Yowie the band hasn’t quite reached the legendary stature of the Australian behemoth, Cryptooology is an accomplished hairy-legged stride in the right direction.
