Lithgow yowie reports

Record summary

Lithgow and the surrounding Central Tablelands appear repeatedly in Australian yowie reporting, with alleged observations of a tall, hairy figure and occasional footprint claims during the late twentieth century. This lead is valuable for comparing a regional cryptid with nearby Blue Mountains reports and for tracing how newspapers, local folklore, and investigators created overlapping geographic flaps. The remembered material is not one uniquely defined incident; several accounts may have been folded together under the Lithgow label. A proper study should identify each dated report, witness, publication, and physical-evidence claim separately.
