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.

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.

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 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.
