Tenterfield yowie reports

Record summary

Tenterfield and the New England tablelands occur in Australian yowie reporting as locations for alleged hairy-man sightings, tracks, and nighttime noises. The lead matters because it may reveal how a regional borderland tradition was incorporated into a national yowie narrative by investigators and newspapers. The remembered case identity is stronger than the details of any single encounter, so researchers should not assume that every “Tenterfield Monster” reference describes the same event. Local newspaper archives, historical societies, and Aboriginal cultural sources are necessary for disentangling older folklore from modern reports.
