    mate! went pigging with some dogs here around 2017. It was around 330 am, and after taking a trophy of a boar, we were walking back to the ute (about 3km through the harsh scrub) and from behind us where we left the remains of that boar we heard an immense roar/bellow call..It was fkn insane. Never heard anything like that in my life, the dogs freaked out, we immediately crouched and turned off the torches and the collar lights on the dogs and waited a minute. After a short time we continued walking again but heard this insane gutteral scream again but it was closer than before so we just fkn RAN to the car with the dogs. NEVER heard anything like that in our lives, this was deep in the Piliga. Just to be clear, whatever made those noises was big, it sounded like a freaking massive animal of some kind but nothing we could identify at time or to this day.

      I was travelling alone in the Pilliga and stopped for lunch near a waterhole. Was so good with lots of bird life I decided to camp overnight. At about 4 pm I realized it had become very quiet. I became more uncomfortable as the evening progressed. At sunset I decided to leave . Had a real bad feel about the place. I camp Solo all the time and have never felt scarred in he bush. Sure was glad when I got back on the Newell.

Maybe the grub’s undies you found were very smelly …..
      But don’t be a wuz because I’ve never actually heard of a yowie ever killing anyone or for that matter of anyone ever seeing one …. the mongrels are bloody cowards I reckon. So Scotty, I suggest that you keep the gin to just a couple of those mugs full …. unless you want to be scared shitless ! The common name for those beautiful Angophoras is the Apple (obviously nothing like the fruit tree).

All the birds stopped signing during the peak blackout. Such a surreal experience.

    Thank you for such a wonderful presentation of the Pilliga. Whilst I have never been there myself, I lived in Narrabri for 10 months a number of years back and always wanted to head off out there. I think you may have whet my appetite to try and get there sooner rather than later.

    I love that you acknowledge the Pilliga Yowie and the Princess Scotty. Thanks for cleaning up the mess, and for bringing the fantastic content.
    I’d love to know if you ever run into anything in the bush that you think doesn’t really belong out there, or seems a little unusual. I personally am a believer of Yowies after a couple of strange experiences. I never seen a Yowie, but have heard some strange sounds in the bush that are unexplainable, at least for me, and have felt a presence that has made me feel very uneasy while camping.
    Keep up the excellent work, and I hope you receive an Emmy or a Logie some day for your great videos.

    Something interesting I learnt the other day that makes a lot of sense is the bush that we know today as we know has changed but so has the tree species
    A lot of our bush has been over logged of certain species that have in most places have left higher fire rated trees.
    Was a very interesting watch to see how people are introducing native trees that would have been around before our presence to help reduce the fire load

So last night I put both vids on the tv and was able to share these magical places with them. The respect you showed in the video, the drone shots, and your narrative let me show my wife and kids why this place is so special. Thank you legend!

    Hey Scotty!
    Loved this viddy, and especially the eclipse story.
    I too saw that eclipse! I went down to Oregon from Vancouver Canada with three of my four kids for an epic camp and cookout on a mountain ridge at 6000’ feet! Epic views, epic times, and mostly, an epic memory! That trip changed my life, I fell back in love with the outdoors and I’m now single and on my own now. I plan to buy a sailboat soon and travel the west coast all the way to Alaska with my oldest daughter who was with me on that trip. Thank you for the memory, what a special time that was…
    Cheers!
