The Kilcoy Yowie
It was back in the 18 hundred's
While out driving sheep,
That a Yowie was spotted
In Kilcoy bushland thick and deep.
​
He was big and black and hairy,
Almost like a man.
The drovers watched in terror,
Then off to the town they ran.
​
They ran into the pub
And told them what they saw.
The townsfolk combed the bushland,
But couldn't find that Yowie anymore.
​
Later he was spotted by two boys at Sandy Creek.
Their mother said it was the Mayor,
Out for a morning leak.
The years went by and sometimes he's been spotted here and there.
A website has been started, but proof remains so very rare.
​
Still, Kilcoy loves the Yowie and a statue stands erect.
Though bits of him are missing 'cause some people do object.
The legend of the Yowie is a good one to be sure.
Someday we're going to catch him and have him stuffed by our door.
