Welcome to Mysterious Australasia

My wife Heather and I have backpacked into some of the wildest areas of the NSW Southern Alps, the Blue Mountains, northern NSW and Queensland's Cape York jungles, New Zealand's North and South Islands, as well as all states and territories of Australia, in search of evidence of these 'unknown animals' (and hominids!), and it never ceases to amaze us how little most Australians really know about their country. We have seen regions where television documentary cameramen never tread due to the inaccessibility of these wilds-vast, silent mountain wildernesses that most people know nothing about. It therefore annoys me no end when scientists, journalists and laymen alike ridicule anyone who has claimed to have seen a Tasmanian tiger, panther, yowie or whatever, for these people usually know absolutely nothing of the habitat in which these creatures live. Until they are willing to forsake the comforts of home and learn how to explore and survive in the remotest regions of the vast Australian bush, they are unqualified to pass judgement. In any case, they have never bothered to study the evidence, and refuse to do so for it is not a recognised subject in the scientific textbooks.

Rex Gilroy

is an open-minded researcher who involves himself in all aspects of the 'Unexplained", and openly encourages everyone to keep an open mind, learn to question, and don't allow themselves to be told what to think. In this endeavour he have been very successful with students - including young university students - and this brings him into conflict with the conservative academia on a regular basis.

A variety of sources were used to compile these sighting reports including Rex and Heather Gilroy's Message Boards, Newspaper Reports, Rex and Heather Gilroy's Research, and Sightings sent to us by Email.

Yowie Book Cover

The first and foremost authority on the Yowie mystery, Rex Gilroy - Australia's original "Yowie Man" -and the World's leading Authority on Yowies, has spent over 50 years researching our answer to the Himalayan "Abominable Snowman" and North American 'Bigfoot'. Here are the results of his lifetime's dedicated research. Here Rex Gilroy reveals the true origins of the Yowie mystery, demonstrating its links with the evolution of the earliest modern humans on this continent.

Here almost 1,000 sightings reports and a mass of other evidence separates myth from reality in a common-sense presentation, revealing startling evidence supporting Rex Gilroy's findings: Pre-Aboriginal fossil hominid skulls. Huge stone 'megatools' and massive fossilised giant hominid footprints found throughout Australia.

Aboriginal rock art of the Yowie thousands of years old. All backed up by Aboriginal myth and legend, early and modern-day sightings, Yowie footprint plaster casts and other evidence. Rex Gilroy has many imitators, but they lack the all-important evidence presented in this book, which is second to none.

Pyramids in the Pacific Book Cover

This book, like its predecessor, has not been written for the approval of a university professor, but for the average Australian reader to judge for themselves the veracity of the evidence about to be presented. “Pyramids in the Pacific” was a heretical volume and this sequel is no different. The authors believe that the time has come for all Australians to resist what can only be described as the gradual erosion of our freedoms, free speech in particular.

Our politicians appear to be under the thumb of minority political groups and fearful of losing votes at elections unless they do the bidding of these largely left-wing activists. Ever since the government gave Aboriginal activists the right to re-claim their ‘sacred’ fossil skeletal remains from government museums and universities for the purpose of re-burial, the nation has been deprived of priceless fossil material vital to the study of human evolution in Australia.

Mysterious Australia Book

Rex Gilroy, widely known as "Australia's Charles Fort" for his life-long fascinationand research into all aspects of Australian unexplained mysteries and enigmasof our prehistory, dares (like his late great American counterpart) to question theblind dogmas of scientific conformitism with evidence for which universitytextbooks have no answers. His files bulge with thousands of reports on all aspects of Australian 'unexplained' phenomena and historical, zoological and other enigmas.

With this, his first book, Rex Gilroy hopes to inspire other future researchers to follow his example and dare to question long-established dogmas of our prehistory and, like him, reveal evidence for long-hidden mysteries about which the scientific establishment would prefer we knew nothing. Acknowledgements.

I wish to express my gratitude to the following people for their practical help over the years, which enabled me to expand and elucidate my many and varied researches.

Don Boyd, former editor of Psychic Australian, who has been urging me to write a book for years; author Frances Pollon, to whom I am indebted for her invaluable advice;

John Dean, for his assistance in our original measuring, photographing and exploratory work on the ‘Gympie Pyramid’ and other ancient sites in that district in the 1970s.

Don Boyd, Geoff Holland and Evan Rainer, with whom I have spent many happy
hours on late-night sit-outs on Kings Tableland watching for UFOs, gone in search of yowies, thylacines and panthers in the Blue Mountains bushland, and trampled through Dinosaur Swamp in search of its scaly inhabitants.

Don Garrad, with whom I have searched for lost cave systems in the rugged New
England ranges.

Fred From, who is an invaluable assistant in my search for evidence of the Australian lost civilisation.

A special thank-you must also go to Judy Paton for her encouragement in writing this book; and also my dear friend and fellow old-movies collector, John Wain, who did not live to see this book completed.

And, finally, I wish to thank my ever-patient, loyal and understanding wife and fellow researcher, Heather. Together we have searched Cape York for pyramids, panthers and yowies, explored central Queensland for fossilised dinosaur remains, and investigated the haunts of "Burrunjor". Together we have frozen on a Bass Strait island in mid winter, investigated the Warrnambool sandhills for the mysterious mahogany ship buried there, and searched Australia for evidence of ancient races. As a team, we have been literally everywhere in Australia in search of all manner of 'unexplained' mysteries.

We have searched for the Kiwi “yowie” or “Moehau Monster”, and for signs that the small scrub-moa might still survive in New Zealand's Fiordlands wilds. We are about to make our fourth [eighth in 2004] expedition there. Our life, for these reasons, is never dull, and I am forever grateful for Heather's help and encouragement.

A very special thanks to our leading ‘Gilroy field assistant and researcher’, Greg, who also assisted in the preparation of this book with the scanning of the photos and other computer work. Greg is also our webmaster who has produced our excellent web sites.

Since this book was first published by NEXUS Publishing in 1995 much has happened which makes republishing of this extremely popular book necessary. So many new discoveries have been made concerning evidence of pre-Aboriginal stone-age races in Australia, that the authors have found it necessary, so as not to upset the original chapter texts except for a couple of minor alterations, such as revised dates] to add many new photos of fossil hominid skull-types and footprints, as with other sections of this book, but with often lengthy captions containing important information.

Thus more photographs have been added to the UFO chapters, those dealing with lost cave systems, and the Cryptozoology section, as well as the chapter dealing with the Yowie. Those readers interested in our ‘unwritten’ history of discovery, exploration and colonisation by maritime civilisations of the ancient world, will not be disappointed by the large number of photos dealing with relics and pyramids discovered by the Gilroys throughout Australia. In the first edition the chapter dealing with the Australian ‘lost’ megalithic civilisation, like other sections of the book, had been flawed due to the deletion of a large number of photographs.

This oversight has now happily been corrected, and the chapter on the ‘lost’ civilisation of Uru is represented by more than enough images, to further amaze the reader at what hidden archaeological treasures this continent possesses, to rival anything similar overseas. Since “Mysterious Australia” was first published, [after which it quickly sold out!] the appeal for copies had been truly phenomenal. So much so that the authors have heard stories of thefts [borrowings] by relatives or friends of owners from their book shelves; altercations over the failure of borrowers to return copies to their owners; even a ‘bidding war’ between an American by long-distance phone to one bookseller, and a woman at the counter, over the single second-hand copy he had advertised [the Australian buyer won!]

So fear not readers, we the authors/publishers now present you with this revised, updated edition, with more than enough photographic content to satisfy you! Republishing “Mysterious Australia” has been our intention ever since we formed
URU Publications in 2000. However, as a sequel has long been intended, we thought it doubly important that the original be republished first, so as to refresh the public’s memory so to speak.

And, as so many new developments in the research of Australian fossil human history have transpired since 1995, we felt it necessary to up-date that section of the book in particular. “Mysterious Australia” has been called “the book that changed our lives”. Since its publication thinking Australians have, as never before, realised just how many natural and ‘unexplained’ mysteries, how many hidden relics of our hitherto unrealised fossil hominid past, and evidence of ancient civilisation contact with our shores, are to be found here.

Since that little book first created a sensation – and the expected storm of protests from irate university-based academics both here and overseas – researchers of the ‘Unexplained’ across the globe have finally realised that Australia has far more than just deserts, Aborigines and kangaroos to offer! With the republishing of this [revised] edition of this classic Australian book of hidden wonders, URU Publications – which has also published the equally successful “Pyramids in the Pacific – The Unwritten History of Australia” and “Giants From the Dreamtime – The Yowie in Myth and Reality” – is pleased to inform the reader that we are committed to continue publishing books concerning the vast array of historical, archaeological and Cryptozoological etc phenomena to be found right here in Australia and in our near-island neighbours.

“Mysterious Australia” is of particular importance to me, because thanks to NEXUS this book made me a published author of International renown, something that the Internet has continued to do.

Yowie Book Cover

“The YOWIE – Living fossils from the Dreamtime” is a significant milestone in Australian relict hominology, for it is primarily concerned with the “fossil foundation” of the Yowie mystery. This book contains hundreds of photographs and diagrams concerning the anatomy and physiology of Australia’s relict hominids, proving the Homo erectus identity of the Yowie in all his forms; ie modern human size, as well as pygmy to giant proportions.

Sightings and close encounter reports are also included, but these are secondary to the main purpose of the book, which is to present a scientific basis to the mystery.

Our “Australian Yowie Research Centre”, based here at Katoomba, continues to gather evidence from throughout Australia, and indeed Australasia, and this region is also represented in our new book. “The YOWIE – Living Fossils from the Dreamtime” is a book for the serious, thinking researcher.

This book will in turn be followed by other Gilroy Yowie books covering various aspects of the mystery.

Crypto Book Cover

This book is about Impossible as well as Possible animals. ‘Impossible’ because they are species not supposed to exist, and ‘Possible’ because they are long-extinct species which may still be alive. Sightings of such animals occur regularly throughout the world, in remote mountain ranges and forests, as well as in lakes, rivers and the ocean depths.

For, while everyone has heard about the Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti, Bigfoot etc - how many overseas readers have heard of the Yowie? Much has been written about England’s mystery panthers and pumas [actually escaped illegal pets] but few overseas publications have given much attention to the giant “Australian Panther”.

Scotland’s ‘Nessie’ is known worldwide, but how many Australians have heard about their own ‘Nessie’, the Moolyewonk, or or Mirreeula of Aboriginal folklore?
