[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 496276, member: 1991"] The Yowie is believed to be further west. Min d you, some marsupials make some horrendous sounds at night, really blood-curdling. probably where the Yowie myths came from. And the bunyips. But the killer possum or "drop-bear" has historical (pre-historical?) basis in fact. Thylacoleo was also known as the marsupial lion, in was related to the possum but had the most amazing teeth that could slice through bone. It lived in trees and dropped onto its prey. We had lots here thousands of years ago. None now. Lots of possums though. The beach was lovely. I had planned to go back down when the sun was less fierce but it is looking like my activism is keeping me chained to the phone again. This time it's the kids. I've just organised urgent specialist appointments for difficult child 1 & easy child 2/difficult child 2) - "Muuum, I've lost the referral!" - then copped a hysterical earful from easy child 2/difficult child 2 about her woes in life (which, admittedly, are a concern) so I'm trying to see what I can do to help. A serious case of ingrowing wishful motherhood. Marg [/QUOTE]
