The reason why we need noise monitors in the Blue Mountains is the commencement of flights in and out of Western Sydney International Airport that will operate 24hours/day and permanently impact the peace and quiet in the Blue Mountains from June 2026. Merran Maclaren interviews guest Erst Carmichael, spokesperson for BMDAC (Blue Mountains Demands A Curfew) on Rights, Rorts and Rants. Erst touches on serious implications of 24 hours /day aircraft noise for both communities and animals living in a World Heritage area; the introduction of noise monitors to monitor noise before & after flights start and the demands of BMDAC for a curfew.

IntroductionThe Blue Mountains, located to the west of Sydney, are renowned for a rich history of Yowie sightings. This region consistently ranks among the top five locations in Australia for reported encounters, with documentation stretching back to the mid-1800s. The vast Greater Dividing Range (GDR) conceals many secrets and untouched places where modern humans have never set foot. It's an environment where it's easy for someone to go missing, whether by accident or by design.Yowie sightings in the Blue Mountains region have been regularly reported over the years. My own experiences in this area include close encounters—some of which involved positive interactions with a particular Yowie. These experiences set this location apart as the only place where I've witnessed such behaviour.ConclusionThis report is yet another account of a roadside sighting, which prompts us to consider if it happened by accident or somehow intentional. Sometimes, they may escape detection due to their human-like appearance—but not always.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

What happens when an Australian teacher builds a house in the wilderness — and finds out they weren't alone? In this unforgettable episode, we travel to the Blue Mountains of New South Wales to meet Neil Frost, author of Fatfoot: Encounters with a Dooligahl. Neil's 50 years of research into Australia's three marsupial enigmas — the Quinkan, the Junjudee, and the Dooligahl — has led to chilling encounters, from guttural growls in scout camps to trees violently shaken in the moonlight. With engineering ingenuity, indigenous knowledge, and relentless curiosity, Neil and his neighbors formed a group called The Octopus to track the creatures roaming their bushland. You'll hear about stolen baby clothes, eerie vocalizations, and the moment Neil realized something had been watching his children. From terrifying night thumps to an emotional goodbye with a familiar forest giant, this story reveals what happens when a family lives side-by-side with the unknown.Resource: Buy Fatfoot here: https://amzn.to/4oduyg7 (Amazon affiliate link helps support the podcast)
GO FUND ME TO HELP SCOT'S WIFE, HANNAH GET BACK ON HER FEET HERE - https://www.gofundme.com/f/nehemiah-3-many-hands-make-light-workWhat happens when a man trained to decode ancient rock art discovers that the symbols aren't just history — they're warnings?In this moving memorial episode, we revisit the life and field research of Scott Violette, Native American cultural anthropologist, Desert Storm veteran, and founder of Squatch America. Traveling across the country with his wife Hannah, Scott spent years uncovering the hidden connection between ancient pictographs and modern Bigfoot encounters.From the Blue Mountains to Wendigo Pass, Scott documented tribal stories that described Sasquatch not just as legend, but as living kin — sometimes a teacher, sometimes a killer. You'll hear about the time he tested their intelligence by leaving puzzles and toys in the forest — and returned to find 500-pound rocks rearranged in response.And after Scott's story, listeners share their own encounters — truckers, veterans, and wilderness workers who say they've seen what the rest of the world denies.A heartfelt tribute to one man's search for the truth — and the mystery he left behind.In this episode, Scot recounts his experiences from investigating sightings in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, where he encountered Bigfoot firsthand near Marble Creek. Discover how his studies of Native American pictographs have revealed ancient depictions of Bigfoot. Scot also shares his theory about Bigfoot as an older version of humans, and discusses the remarkable vocal abilities these creatures may possess, including infrasound. Hear about his travels across the U.S., from capturing reports in Texas to investigating hotspots near Crater Lake and Wendigo Pass in Oregon. Learn valuable tips for aspiring Bigfoot researchers and how Scot's unique, community-engaging approach, like holding Bigfoot town halls, helps gather vital information. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Scot's stories and insights will leave you captivated and curious.Resources:https://www.youtube.com/@SquatchAmericaSee Scot's Bigfoot finds here - https://squatchamerica.com/unique-bigfoot-finds-from-squatch-america/Scot's video on his pictograph find - https://www.youtube.com/live/nFLm4qRWVOUMore information on the Tule River Pictographs (with photos) - https://www.isu.edu/media/libraries/rhi/research-papers/Mayak-Datat-Hairy-Man-Pictographs-1.pdf

Oklahoma Bigfoot Nine Feet TallBorn in 1965 in eastern Oklahoma, he grew up immersed in outdoor life, hunting and fishing with family and best friend Slick. In early spring, they camped in the remote Blue Mountains for a fishing trip. After a quiet first night disturbed by rustling outside their truck, they fished all day but felt watched on the return hike. Hearing knocks from a bluff and rocks splashing into the creek, with a treetop swaying inexplicably, they fired warning shots into the wall and fled to their vehicle, convinced they'd encountered something like Bigfoot, though they saw no figure. At age 12, visiting his brother at a logging camp in Oregon's Monmouth mountains, the narrator spotted enormous, fresh 20-inch barefoot prints in the dusty road while heading to town. Local loggers, familiar with such tracks and even sightings of the creatures, confirmed the phenomenon, leaving the boy terrified and plagued by nightmares for days. In summer 1993, fishing a bass tournament on Greenleaf Lake in Arkansas amid dense woods and military land, the narrator and his brother spotted a massive shadow in shallow water under moonlight. It growled deeply, plowed through the water creating a huge wake, and crashed ashore, barreling uphill through timber like a bulldozer—estimated at nine feet tall. The next day, they found large impressions on the bank and trailed broken arm-thick limbs snapped at seven feet high for 300 yards. Certain it wasn't a bear but a curious Sasquatch, the narrator keeps the story secret to spare his young sons fear while hunting locally.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
Strange Sightings in the Blue Mountains: Podcast OverviewThis podcast offers a fascinating exploration of numerous unusual phenomena reported in the Blue Mountains and the surrounding areas. Listeners are introduced to a wide array of subjects, each contributing to the region's mysterious reputation.Topics Discussed· Yowie Sightings: Accounts of encounters with the legendary creature known as the Yowie are examined, highlighting the enduring intrigue surrounding this cryptid.· Big Cats: The podcast delves into reports of large, unidentified feline predators roaming the landscape, fueling ongoing debates about their existence.· Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger): Sightings of animals resembling the supposedly extinct Thylacine are discussed, raising questions about the possibility of its survival in remote environments.· Orbs and More: Additional unexplained phenomena, such as mysterious orbs, are also covered, adding further layers to the region's enigmatic character.Theories and PerspectivesThe podcast presents multiple viewpoints regarding these anomalies. Some individuals suggest that all these strange occurrences are interconnected, potentially indicating a common cause or link among the phenomena. Conversely, others propose that the answer lies in the Blue Mountains' harsh and mostly unexplored terrain. According to this perspective, the landscape's inhospitable nature allows for the survival of rare or unknown creatures, which are seldom seen due to the area's inaccessibility.

We're heading East today! Oregon's Blue Mountains encompass some of the most beautiful landscapes and habitats anywhere. Within the Blue's 15,000 square miles, you'll find such Oregon gems as the John Day river, the Eagle Cap wilderness, Hell's Canyon, and a huge percentage of Oregon's forests. But because they are geographically isolated from major population centers, they often don't get the recognition they deserve.That remoteness also makes them vulnerable to resource extraction. And right now, the Forest Service, which manages millions of acres of public land within the Blues, is revising their management plan under the most environmentally hostile administration in my lifetime.To learn more about this special part of Oregon, and how to defend it, I'm joined today by Paula Hood, co-director of the Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project.And as I mentioned last week, I am looking for volunteers to help with produce the show!

High in the Blue Mountains, the road at Mount Victoria Pass twists steep and narrow through rock and mist. By day, it's breathtaking. But by night, it carries a darker reputation. Travelers whisper of a woman's ghost drifting through the fog. Her story etched into the stones of the pass nearly two centuries ago. This is the story of Caroline Collits. A child of the early colony whose short life was marked by hardship, betrayal, and violence. Her murder in 1842 shocked the settlement and left behind more than a legend, it left a haunting reminder of injustice that echoes into the present. In this episode, we explore the history, the haunting, and the legend of the ghost of Victoria Pass. Was Caroline just a tragic figure of the past, or does she still walk the road today?

Yowie Encounter in the Remote Australian WildernessIntroductionThe Kowmung and Coxs River region lies at the heart of some of Australia's most rugged, mountainous terrain. It is situated just below the southern side of the Blue Mountains. Characterized by high peaks and deep valleys, this untamed land provides an ideal habitat for a Yowie to remain hidden from humanity.The JourneyThree friends set out on a challenging 6 and a half hour mountain bike ride across unforgiving terrain, journeying to a remote location to fish for trout and camp far from civilization.Camping beside a running river can be unsettling—its constant sound often disguises other noises, whether familiar or unknown. The rushing water may imitate voices or footsteps, or completely mask them, heightening the sense of isolation.At this secluded site, the witnesses felt the presence of something unusual. According to their account, the nights felt particularly tense. Early mornings spent fishing were accompanied by strange sounds from the ridge above and an intense sensation of being watched—an experience frequently reported in areas with Yowie activity.The Yowie was seen on the side of the river, leaning over and cupping its hand to drink the water.Humans rarely run through dense thickets of thorns, leaving behind clumps of hair, nor do they possess the stamina to charge up mountains, outpacing three young athletes. The creature in question did not match the description of any known person: standing nearly 7 feet tall, weighing around 130 kg, covered with thick, matted hair up to three inches long, and possessing deep-set eye sockets.Lasting ImpressionThe memory of this encounter remains as vivid today as when it happened. According to many who have experienced similar events, a Yowie encounter is unforgettable—it leaves a lasting mark on those who witness it.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

Tonight's guest, Kirk Brandenburg, is a Sasquatch investigator who is based in Washington State. Kirk does most of his investigating in the Cascade Mountains but occasionally heads over to the Olympics or North Central Washington to look for evidence. Kirk has been interested in Sasquatch for as long as he can remember but what really set the hook in him was a conversation he had with a coworker, at a work-related party. You see, at that party, one of Kirk's coworkers told him about a Sasquatch encounter he'd had. After listening to that coworker talk about his experience, Kirk had officially caught the Bigfoot bug. Never in his wildest dreams did Kirk ever think he'd go on to have his own experiences with Sasquatch but that's exactly what happened.

On the morning of 18 January 1977, Blue Mountains commuters boarded their usual train, expecting nothing more than another routine ride to work. Instead, the Granville train disaster became Australia's deadliest rail accident.

Ness Hartge is just like you and I. An age group athlete, a busy mum, small business owner and runner. She's also someone who struggled to call herself an “ultra runner” despite having completed 3 x ultra distance events — and hoped she'd finally feel comfortable doing so once she finished her first 100km race at the Ultra Trail Australia 100km in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney in May 2017.Ness has openly shared on social media her struggle with the Imposter Complex. In this conversation we discuss the way the Imposter Complex has shown up in her life, the times it has caused her to doubt herself (including when applying for jobs) and the steps she took that enabled her to line up at the start of the Ultra Trail Australia 100km and know that, as an experienced ultra-runner, she deserved to be there.

In this episode, I recap some of my adventures I experienced on my recent family vacation to Australia, the land down under! We traveled to Sydney, Australia, then to Cairns, Australia, and then wrapped it up at Katoomba, Australia. We did several outdoor adventures and tours throughout our trip, seeing Kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, fruit bats (flying fox), crocodiles, and even the elusive platypus. We toured the Daintree Rainforest, snorkeled the great barrier reef, and hiked thru the “Blue Mountains” of the Katoomba, Australia. I also treated myself to fishing trip in Cairns, where I caught some interesting fish. Hear all about it. Then we bring it back home to talk about chasing tarpon here in the local waters of deep South Texas.

The Yowie Sightings of Wentworth Falls and Surrounding AreasIntroductionWentworth Falls lies at the heart of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, perched above the sweeping Jamison Valley, adjacent to the Megalong Valley. Both valleys have a long history of reported Yowie encounters that span many years.Concentration of Sightings in Nearby TownsOn the upper slopes to the east of Wentworth Falls are the townships of Lawson, Hazelbrook, and Woodford. These towns record the highest concentration of Yowie sightings, likely due to their larger populations providing more opportunities for encounters and reports.Personal Experience in HazelbrookHazelbrook stands out as the place where I spent the most time with one particular Yowie, from whom I learned a great deal. This Yowie was the only friendly one I've ever interacted with; most encounters have been far less amiable.Kings Tablelands Road IncidentIn early 2003, we were contacted by a young man who had a close encounter with not one, but three Yowies late at night on Kings Tablelands Road in Wentworth Falls. This location, situated on the edge of an escarpment with cliffs nearly 200 metres high, has a notable history of sightings.Features of Kings Tablelands RoadAs you travel further along Kings Tablelands Road, the landscape becomes barren. The last building you see is an old, abandoned mental hospital. From there, the road turns to sandy dirt, with no houses in sight, growing ever more isolated as it ventures deeper into the forest. The surrounding wilderness is a vast network of creeks and valleys that seemingly never end.Solitude and Historical ConnectionsIt is a place where someone could live for years without seeing another human, should they choose such isolation. This area is also linked to countless historic Yowie sightings.

Encounters with Yowies in the Alpine Region of VictoriaLasting Impact of Yowie SightingsAnother reality-altering and life-changing Yowie encounter has left a profound effect on those who witnessed it. For many, the impact of seeing a Yowie stays with them for a lifetime, marking a significant event in their lives.The Alpine Region: A Remote Yowie HabitatThe Alpine region of Victoria stands as a vast, rugged terrain, largely unrepresented and sparsely populated. With fewer people inhabiting the area, there are naturally fewer opportunities for Yowie encounters, yet this does not mean there are fewer Yowies. In fact, it is possible that more Yowies inhabit the Victorian high country than the Blue Mountains, simply going unseen due to the lack of human presence. The region is even more expansive than the Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Park west of Sydney, but with far fewer residents.Yowie Sightings and BehaviourEpisodes have been recorded of past aggressive Yowie encounters, including incidents where humans were physically attacked while sleeping. Such reports contribute to the ongoing mystery and intrigue surrounding these creatures.Variation in AppearanceYowies are not always depicted as dark or brown creatures. Like the Yeti, Yowies can also be white. In some encounter reports, especially those from snowy elevations, the lighter colouration is noted. This variation in colour may be attributed to evolutionary factors associated with their environment.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

The Swainson's Warbler is one of North America's shyest birds. These birds forage quietly on the ground, flipping over leaves to expose and capture insects. They scurry away, calling in alarm when big-footed humans invade their shadowy habitat. On their wintering grounds, in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, they're even harder to find, because they don't sing in winter. Swainson's Warblers do, however, respond aggressively to a recording of their own song. That's how ornithologists confirmed the presence of these elusive warblers, and discovered a vital connection between the two mountain forests, a thousand miles apart.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?
