Tim the Yowie Man
So
named after spotting an unidentified big black hairy
creature in Canberra's Brindabella Mountains in 1994,
Tim the Yowie Man has carved out a curious career
as Australia's leading mystery investigator and cryptonaturalist.
Whether
it is the latest report of the Loch Ness Monster,
the discovery of a pyramid on a remote Pacific Island,
or something a little closer to home like a Tassie
Tiger sighting or a haunted house, Tim is quick to
arrive on the scene to investigate.
Tim
is the National Museum of Australia's Resident Cryptonaturalist
and author of several books on mysteries of the world
including most recently "The Adventures of Tim
the Yowie Man" (Random House, 2001). He contributes
regularly to a large number of publications both domestically
and internationally including The Sunday Telegraph
and the Helix Science Magazine.
Tim
has also featured in several documentaries for the
Discovery and Geo television networks and has hosted
regular segments on mysteries of the ACT for Canberra
radio stations 666 ABC Canberra, FM104.7 and 1053
2CA.
Tim
is possibly best remembered for his role in 2000 for
uncovering the top secret location of reality TV show
Survivor 2 The Australian Outback, and for dropping
chocolate bars from a helicopter to the contestants
below. This event catapulted Tim from an off beat
Aussie mystery investigator to international larrikin
chauffeured around LA in a stretch limo, and fought
over by US TV stations.
