How did the pilliga get a pilliga princess?

Answer 1

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

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 the 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 the 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 the "T" nth of Coona , bang , bang on the 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 - the Princess used to come along to each truck , open the 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 the old girl , didn't stop till Goodiwindi . Funnily , I have slept in the middle of the Pilliga , knowing the "Legends , myths" of the Princess & Yowie , & never locked the doors there .

It is thought she ran out onto the 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 the 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 the hill the other side . It IS Always 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 .
