Join The Adventure Of Australia Bigfoot... This eBook will take you to an amazing fiction adventure packed with lot of actions and a wonderful story-line around Bigfoot, Dense Australian Forests & UFOs. It is not possible to mention the name ‘Yowie’ [or Bigfoot] without remembering the name of the man responsible for bringing these mysterious and elusive beings to public attention both throughout Australia and the world. Mentioning the Yowie without Rex Gilroy is like describing Egypt without the pyramids! Rex Gilroy or “Rex the Yowie Man” as he is known throughout Australia and overseas, has researched these primitive ancestors of ours for the past 55 years. He and his wife Heather operate the “Australiana Yowie Research Centre” [PO Box 202, Katoomba, NSW 2780; Phone 02 4782 3441] where he has amassed a large collection of footprint plaster casts of what he declared many years ago to be a relative of the North American ‘Bigfoot’ and other similar beings believed to live in southeast Asia and New Guinea. Rex Gilroy is a feld naturalist and historical researcher possessing the largest privately owned natural history collection in Australia. He is also the author of many books on the Yowie and mysterious animals including books on ancient civilization contacts with Australia and Australian UFOs [Unidentifed Flying Objects]. At 68 years old he has no intention of giving up his searches for the Yowie and retiring.

Green ants that defend their tree by attacking anyone who touches it…a mysterious lava-tube cave with hikers' flashlights floating like fireflies down into its blackness...fruit bats noisily lobbing mangos onto your cabin's tin roof. The beauties -- and dangers -- of the crocodile-infested Kakadu National Park. A crash landing at a remote island airstrip…a rugby match in Northern Territory (and why Aussie girls never “root” for their teams). In this colorful and remarkable book, written by a colorful and remarkable woman pilot, you'll find the most enjoyable way to discover Australia -- by flying a light airplane to its places of greatest interest while watching the exotic landscape unroll beneath you. Vistas of giant paisley patterned earth, caused by underlying salt strata. Stunning views of red landscapes, uplifted and contorted during the earth's primordial boil. The enormously long white beaches of Western Australia, lonesome and edged by brilliant aquas. And the Indian Ocean to the south, marked by hundreds of miles of cliffs. Whales breed there…You could get lucky. You don't have to be a pilot to enjoy this book. The author wrote it also for non-flyers, in non-technical terms, to let you see amazing things that pilots experience from their very special perspective. You'll want to read it, re-read it, and share it with your friends.

Rusty Hix first developed a love of travel and adventure when he accompanied his family across the United States as a young boy. As he matured into a young man, Rusty began traveling internationally to feed his curiosity for understanding the worlds greatest mysteries. From hiking in national parks to caving in foreign countries, Hixs fascinating stories detail unforgettable adventures in Cancun, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, China, Easter Island, Finland, and many other locations. In sometimes irreverent prose, Hix chronicles his not-so-typical travel tales of helicoptering over the geothermal areas of New Zealand; zip-lining, kayaking, and whitewater rafting in Costa Rica; and visiting pagodas, Buddhist temples, and the Great Wall in China. He also describes many of the wild experiences that include a panda sitting on his lap, vertical caving, sky diving, climbing the worlds highest structure, and a serious car accident that nearly cost him his life. Hix also details the food, customs and behavior of people within a variety of cultures along with vivid descriptions of the scenery where it all takes place. No Adventure Too Ridiculous is a colorful celebration of one mans escapades as he explores far-flung places on a legendary and sometimes farcical journey around the world.
