Yowie Reports in the Pilliga Region
We continue with another truck driver who made the fateful decision to stop on the Newell at night.
(The audio recording of his account is of poor quality due to bad phone reception.)
The driver still has a sick physical reaction when recalling the incident, describing it as more traumatic than any time he had spent in jail. He explains his encounter with a Yowie, that struck the vehicle so forcefully, it rocked his fully loaded 44-ton truck—a detail reminiscent of the 2019 Witheren (Qld), report.
Over the years, numerous reports of Yowie sightings have emerged from the Pilliga and its surrounding areas. The Newell Highway, particularly the desolate stretch between Coonabarabran and Narrabri, has become deeply embedded in Australian folklore. This road is infamous for accounts of mysterious beings and unexplained phenomena appearing during the dead of night.
Truck Drivers' Experiences on the Newell Highway
The 120-kilometer route through the forest is isolated, with few, if any, residents. Many truck drivers have recounted their reluctance to stop on this stretch at night, even when facing mechanical issues like blown tires. Instead, they would continue driving to the nearest town rather than risk stopping.
Iconic Sightings and Legends
The Newell Highway is home to some of the most iconic mysterious sightings in Australia. Reports include Yowies pulling slats from the sides of parked trucks, animals vanishing, sightings of UFOs and floating orbs, and tales of the infamous Pilliga Princess who wandered the road at night.
One particularly unusual story, reported to Duncan Rhodes from Nexus Magazine, involved two men who stopped don the side of the road, answering the call of nature. One man, venturing deeper into the bush, noticed something strange on the ground. Upon investigation, he found a hatch and, lifting it, saw a ladder descending to a brightly lit railway line that officially does not exist. Feeling uneasy, he left the area. Later, after the experience continued to trouble him, the men returned to search for the hatch but were unable to locate it again.
The Enduring Mysteries of the Pilliga
The Pilliga remains a place shrouded in mystery, with stories of missing persons and warnings against walking alone at night. The sheer number and variety of stories and legends associated with the region make it impossible to ignore.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
