Yowie Footprint Cast Replica – Blue Mountains, Australia
Yowie is often considered the Australian counterpart to Bigfoot in the United States. While sightings of this elusive creature are numerous, physical evidence like footprints is rare, mainly due to Australia’s rugged and remote terrain.
This particular Yowie track cast replica originates from the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. It measures approximately 43 cm (16.9 inches) long and 22 cm wide at its widest point.
The cast offers an intriguing look at what may be one of the most mysterious cryptids in the Southern Hemisphere.
Perfect for collectors, researchers, and enthusiasts of the unexplained!

SNARLING, 3-meter “hairy men” could be roaming bushland near you. Yowie researchers, including cryptozoologist Rex “The Yowie Man” Gilroy, are investigating sightings near Lismore and Casino. Known as the “Bigfoot of the Bush,” Yowies are believed to be a primitive, ape-like species. Mr. Gilroy and his wife Heather, founders of the Australian Yowie Research Centre (est. 1976), continue to gather evidence in hopes of scientific validation. The team is now turning its attention to the Northern Rivers region following multiple recent reports.
The Yowie is a legendary creature said to inhabit the remote wilderness areas of Australia, particularly in the Blue Mountains and other forested regions. It is commonly described as:
Ape-like or human-like
Standing between 6 to 10 feet tall (1.8 to 3 meters)
Covered in dark hair
Emitting a strong, unpleasant odor
Sometimes aggressive or territorial
The Yowie is often considered the Australian equivalent of Bigfoot or Sasquatch, with similarities in appearance and elusive behavior. Sightings date back hundreds of years, including in Aboriginal oral traditions, where the creature was sometimes known by names like “Yahoo”, “Pangkarlangu”, or “Dooligahl”, depending on the region and language group.
While some say that no concrete scientific evidence has confirmed the Yowie’s existence, eyewitness accounts, footprint casts, and cryptozoological investigations have kept the legend alive.

Yowie researchers are on their way to the Northern Rivers, citing new evidence that these mysterious creatures are living around Lismore and Casino. Known as the "Bigfoot of the Bush" or the giant "hairy man", yowie believers say the beings are a primitive, ape-like race.... The father of Yowie research, Rex "The Yowie Man" Gilroy, will be leading the investigation in Lismore. Mr Gilroy and his wife, Heather, are directors of the Australian Yowie Research Centre, which they set up in 1976 in an effort to gather evidence of yowies for scientific assessment. Now they are bringing their work to the Northern Rivers after reports of recent sightings. Coming with them are a number of cryptozoologists (people who search for animals whose existence has not yet been proven), and they are looking for local input. "We will be following up a number of new leads," Mr Gilroy said."
