A yowie is a strange ape-like creature of Australia, usually frequenting the bushland of southern Queensland. A diary entry written on 25 July 1851 stated they were "short, stout and of very muscular appearance... covered in thick black hair...the stench of their body is unbearable...great hunters of the forests and jungles...They come and go without being seen. They can hide in the undergrowth in such a manner that one can be touched or struck without their person being visible... These were the Woningityan/Won-ingee-tyan - the shadow men creatures of the jungles and forests..."

Is the yowie real?
Yes it is to the people who believe in it. However, the name yowie may be a mispronunciation of yuurii. To some Aboriginal people in western New South Wales (Australia) the yuurii are little people, very muscular and hairy, who coexist with Aboriginal people though they are hidden to non-believers. They have their own social structure and retain a lot of the magic powers that ordinary people have forgotten, though clevermen, and -women, can consult them. They only interfere with normal human life if they think these people are acting inappropriately, though occasionally a mischievous individual may play tricks on humans. The word yowie is used by the indigenous people of the Sydney region to describe someone's death-spirit (ghost doesn't quite fit) and may have been taken to the interior by early European settlers who misunderstood its meaning and used it to describe a creature known to Aboriginals there (who would have spoken a different language/dialect). This happens a lot when cultures collide and so yowie is now an almost generic term. What is now called the yowie is a larger creature, but also hairy and strong, who disturbs people it doesn't like. Indigenous Australians have many terms for little people and bigger creatures, some harmful, others not.
Do Yowie eat people?
There is no report to that. These hairy humanoids are said to be intelligent, curious and omnivorous. They are said to kidnap, kill and eat chickens and other livestock. They have been seen eating fruit, going through people's trash containers and eating road kill. Most Yowie sightings are of solitary ones, but pairs and families have also been reported.
