The late Don Boyd, editor of "Psychic Australian" (later renamed "Strange Phenomena"") magazine, for giving me my first major breakthrough as a writer during the mid-1970's and early 1980's. Don urged me to produce a book of merit on the Yowie/"hairy man" mystery.
My latest book "Giants From the Dreamtime The Yowie in Myth and reality is largely due to his encouragement, and I am certain he would be delighted with the results. Through "Psychic Australian" and also his later science fiction magazine "Futuristic Tales", Don Boyd gave many young writers their start.
His magazines were podiums for the presntation of theories and evidence backing them up, with conventional, conservative university-based scientists and historians found unacceptable, but then Don Boyd didnt give a damn about 'convention, anymore than his loyal followers today, including this author!.
My last happy memory of Don is the image of him standing upright, precariously upon the tallest pinnacle of the Ruined Castle rock formation, in Jamieson Valley below Katoomba NSW, during our last (October 1999) Yowie investigation together with Geoff Holland and Evan Rainer.
Don (who told no one of his battle with cancer) thought nothing of heights anymore than he thought nothing of the establishment. Well done old mate!
