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.
