Location signal is figure-associated region (Australia), not a verified event place. Abstract excerpt: 1907, 1937. As early as 1907, R.H. Mathews had reported the "Yaruma", a traditional belief from the south-east corner of New South Wales. On the north coast (W.J. Enright, 'Mankind', June 1937), the creature was the "Jarra-Wahu" or "Yerri-Wahoo", and around Mudgee and Maitland the "Yahu". Some of these names were said, like "Yowie", to mean "hairyman". --(Patricia and Peter Wrightson, 'The Wrightson List of Aborigina
