What I know about "Th Princess"

Th Princess was thought to have "lost it" in the city & just went bush . She , th

princess , reckoned her family , especially her two daughters just wanted her money.

Another theory - she worked on a property around Gunnedah , fell pregnant to the

boss , hung around Boggabri for awhile . Had her baby taken off her , she snapped ,

went to & just wandered around th Pilliga . She did have a (base) camp about 40k in

from the "T" at Coonabarrabran . She had the wildest head of white hair you could

imagine (probably exacerbated by me , cause I've been bald since19) .

She wandered up & down th Newell - Only as far nth as Narrabri , but south to

West Wyalong . She had several friends with th Ipec drivers . Probably how she got

most of her lifts . I met her once , I was having a sleep in my truck at the top of the

hill , just up from th "T" nth of Coona , bang , bang on th door , give me a lift up to

my camp , no , let me sleep . I want a lift up to my camp  . I was awake by then .

I had heard - th Princess used to come along to each truck , open th door , get in

& make the driver tale her up to her camp . Only place I have ever locked my truck

door while I slept . Cranked up th old girl , didn't stop till Goodiwindi . Funnily , I have

slept in th middle of th Pilliga , knowing th "Legends , myths" of th Princess & Yowie ,

& never locked th doors there . But , I am someone who , when going past th radio

telescopes outside Parkes , used to get on both cb radios and ask if anybody out

there can hear me , come & get me , there's no form of intelligent life down here &

read ghost stories in th little parking area halfway up Bollivia hill . Back to Princess .

I is thought she ran out onto th road to get a lift , but misjudged how close the

Stockmaster cattle truck was , as she ran across infront of a southbounder waving

her arms for th northbounder . note- where her camp was - it was at the bottom of

a hill at a creek - either way a Semi would be flat out , as to keep his revs up to get

up th hill th other side . It IS Allways very Dark at night in the Pilliga , I have found it

only darker in most places in the Territory . So to see her at the last moment , one

would have no chances of stopping . I suppose now , it adds to the Legend of the

Pilliga Princess(bless her soul) . The ghost of the Pilliga Princess .
