They describe it later in the article as 6' square, or 36 square feet, which look about right.

6ft square is 6'x6', so quite probable. Well, for him, maybe! I'd like to see you in it, Ian! [biggrin]

Odd considering how prolific and widespread yowies are, that we have never caught one, dead or alive.

They disappear as not only do they have big feet but also big ears, so hear anyone coming miles away.

Apparently they like to listen to country music with those ears.

Imagine their guitar work if they have the same number of fingers as toes!

I'd say their guitar playing would be fantastic, for the same reason the best banjo playing comes from the deep south of America as you really need at least 12 digits to play a banjo properly.

You only need two digits to hold a pluck.

""Coming down the A1 with lorries passing me at 60mph sent the Land Rover and caravan from one side to the other every few minutes," Mr Hernaman said."

This remined me Going around Port Phillip Bay with a mate on a tandem bike a 72 year old blind man on the back of the Tandem bike. Have a lot of sympathy for Mr Hernaman.

My single seat bike I titled Wing Man for the day was buffeted a LITTLE BIT by B Doubles, Trucks and busses passing me on the Geelong freeway [biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]
