The Wonthaggi monster

The first newspaper reports of Wonthaggi’s “Monster” were mocking, but in
later years the tone changed.

A strange animal with a blood-curdling yell, startled Fred Rollinson of
Inverloch Rd Wonthaggi and his employee, Mrs Sturgess, at 7:30 am Monday
morning, ‘And I hadn’t been drinking,’ laughed Mrs Sturgess. ‘It was up a
tree, big as a dog, with large claws, large head, furry body, striped like
a zebra with a long tail. When I heard the yell, I thought it was children
looking for a lost calf. When it saw me, it sprang 15 ft. to the ground
and disappeared. I’ve seen goannas, frill-necked lizards, wild cats and
foxes, but it was none of them.’  A circus passing through Wonthaggi last
month did not report any missing animals.
 Mr Crosbie Morrison said last night, ‘Apart from the fact that the animal
is described as having stripes, it sounds like a Greater Possum Glider.
This is a rather rare animal now and normally comes out only at night, but
this one probably went to bed late. The possum glider does not have
stripes. However, the shadows of branched of the tree might quite easily
look as if it had stripes. If Mrs Sturgess insists that the animal really
had stripes, then it may be a domestic cat gone wild.
