The Junjudee - Australian Mystery
from Strewth - Australian True Crime and Mystery Podcast Hosted by strewthpodcast
Junjaree | Njimbin | Brown Jack | Little Hairy Man - Australian Cryptid Mystery It isn't the Yowie. It's smaller than that. Faster. And by some accounts, considerably more unsettling. The Junjudee has been part of this country's stories since long before records were kept. It appears in a newspaper from 1897. It appears in the testimony of soldiers on a military exercise in the Cape York rainforest. It appears to a horsewoman in the Northern Rivers, in open daylight, in open pasture and then vanishes into a stand of trees the size of a lounge room. It's still appearing in Tasmania in 2024 In this episode of Strewth, we're on the path of this elusive creature.
