Does the Hawkesbury have a loch ness-style monster of its own?

Hornsby Advocate 

"Imagine a monster living on the borders of the upper north shore. An aquatic beast which lurks in the depths of the Hawkesbury River. A creature related to the Loch Ness monster.


For cryptozoologist Rex Gilroy, the fledgling legend of the Hawkesbury River Monster is real and he’s determined to prove it.


Since 1965, he and his wife Heather have been gathering information on a creature he believed still lives in our major waterway, or once did.


After years of ``patience, field trips and stake-outs’’ along the shores of the river, Mr Gilroy, who is also known for his research on the Blue Mountains Panther, hopes to finally obtain photographic evidence.


``Sooner or later, I’m hoping to get the shot of shots,’’ Mr Gilroy told the Advocate.


The Gilroys say they have compiled hundreds of sightings reports."
