One such sighting was reported to the Noosa Police when a yowie was seen on a road at about 2am, in Tewantin, near Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast in Qld. The creature was described as large and hairy, and about 8 feet tall. Although there have been previous sightings of such creatures in the area, this was the first for some time. “It was standing in the middle of the road,” said the Tewantin woman who reported the incident, “I slowed the car and came to a stop. The figure I though at first was a man - it was about eight feet tall and on two legs - lumbered towards the car." "It was right on top the vehicle and hit the bonnet with its left hand and then ran off into the bushes." Police said the creature left a notable dent and three scratches in the car.

One of the Burns Philps' ships, The Wangara was in dock just a little fur- ther down the jetty. Suddenly we heard a man's voice shout “Hey fellas, what's that?".

Using sonar signals emitted from a craft being towed behind the team's support ship, the Simrad, the scientist's received a signal which was ‘locked onto’ by their equipment for a period of about two minutes. The project is using some of the most modern sonar technology in the world, and also hopes to record the exact depth of Loch Ness.
