The Australian Yowie Project is an independent research initiative focused on the long-term documentation and analysis of reports describing large, unidentified bipedal primates in Australia.
Established as a field-based investigative platform, the Project exists to record, preserve and examine observational data gathered across multiple decades. Our work integrates witness testimony, environmental pattern analysis, geographic clustering, image review, and comparative paleoanthropology.
We approach the subject as an unresolved biological question rather than folklore.
The Project operates as a collaborative network of independent researchers who share field observations and findings. All material published through this platform reflects our own documented work. We do not assess or comment on third-party claims.
Research Philosophy
Our methodology is guided by restraint and documentation.
We distinguish clearly between:
-
First-hand field observation
-
Witness reporting
-
Analytical interpretation
-
Theoretical hypothesis
Speculation is identified as such. Conclusions are framed proportionately to available evidence.
The objective is not sensationalism, but disciplined inquiry.
Scope of Work
Research areas include:
-
Long-term field observation in Queensland and other Australian regions
-
Geographic and habitat modelling
-
Image and morphological comparison
-
Audio anomaly documentation
-
Hair and trace material review
-
Cross-disciplinary comparison with established paleoanthropological data
All published findings remain open to review and revision as new data emerges.
Founder
Ray Doherty is an independent Australian researcher and author whose field involvement spans more than two decades. His work combines investigative documentation with structured analytical review, culminating in the forthcoming publication Undiscovered: Australia’s Living Caveman.
Through media interviews and documentary appearances, Ray has advocated for a measured, evidence-led approach to the Yowie phenomenon — one that prioritizes documentation over belief.
