Echo Locator ft. Family Jordan, JB Paterson and Mylee Grace (FREE)

Summer ‘Yowie’ edition: Saturday, 24 January 2026, 6pm-9pm

The Echo Locator live music series culminates with the Summertime finale on Sat 24 Jan from 6-9pm for the Summer ‘Yowie Edition’ in Yowie heartland aka the Lismore Quad. Featuring live performances by regional folk & cosmic country favourites Family Jordan, JB Paterson and Mylee Grace.

For the Summer edition we explore the mythical figure of the Yowie. Known to the Bundjalung people for thousands of years, the Yowie is a tall, strong, hairy ape-like creature which has been sighted hundreds of times, both in the deep corners of the Australian bush, as well as closer to home places.

To delve into the legend, leading cryptozoologist Gary Opit joins us to present his findings and years of research into the Yowie alongside other Australian megafauna. Visual artist and yowie enthusiast Fiona Fraser also presents a series of Yowie art inspired by field trips to known hotspots. Plus the Holiday Makers present audiovisual installations from their own Yowie discovery journey.
