Wowie! It’s a Yowie!
Somerset Council’s tourism arm, Experience Somerset, has launched its summer marketing campaign, featuring the Kilcoy Yowie.
This season, holidaymakers are in for some family fun with ‘The Great Kilcoy Yowie Hunt’ and a chance to win a $1,000 accommodation voucher to NRMA Lake Somerset Holiday Park.
The Yowie can be spotted at some of his favourite locations in Somerset including Esk, Fernvale, Toogoolawah, Lake Somerset, Lake Wivenhoe and of course his hometown, Kilcoy.
“When you find the Yowie, make sure to scan the QR code and enter your details to go in the draw for a chance to win a holiday experience,” Mayor Jason Wendt said.
To spread the word, visitors and residents are encouraged to snap a photo with the Yowies, upload to Facebook or Instagram and tag @experiencesomerset.
Pop into any of the Visitor Information Centres at Esk, Fernvale, Kilcoy and The Condensery in Toogoolawah to collect the free kids activity book, ‘Wowie! It’s a Yowie!’.
The Great Kilcoy Yowie Hunt competition closes on Friday, 7 February 2025.
