GIANTS FROM THE DREAMTIME
The YOWIE in Myth and Reality
By Rex Gilroy

About the Author

Rex Gilroy is a field naturalist and historical researcher widely known throughout Australia and overseas, as the world's leading authority on the Yowie mystery and an investigator of all manner of Australian unexplained mysteries.

He is no stranger to controversy and describes himself as a "scientific heretic" who dares to question the blind dogmas of scientific conformitism, with evidence for which University text books have no answer.

Rex could be described as a cross between Crocodile Dundee and Indiana Jones, for when not exploring the Australian wilds with his wife and fellow researcher Heather, in search of fossil dinosaur bones or 'unknown' animal species, such as the Australian Panther and 'extinct' Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacine, he is seeking mystery ruins, rock inscriptions and relics of a ancient civilisation that colonised Australia in the dim past.

He has also spent a lifetime researching UFO'S (Unidentified Flying Objects).

In the 1960's he founded Australian Cryptozoology (i.e. the study of animal species either unknown to science, or else thought extinct, but which might still survive) and relict hominids, which besides the Yowie, include creatures from New Zealand to New guinea, south-eastern and mainland Asia and the Americas.

With "Giants From the Dreamtime", Rex seeks to inspire future researchers to follow his example, and to dare to question long-established dogmas of our prehistory.

When not in the field Rex enjoys working on his huge natural history collection, the largest privately owned in Australia, and which contains thousands of fossils, rocks and minerals, insects and other zoological, anthropological and archaeological specimens, gathered from throughout Australian and worldwide.

Rex and Heather Gilroy also find time for community service work through their local Lions Club.

They have two daughters.
