Thoughts to any family or friends reading this thread.
I wouldnt be very surprised if someone from overseas, fit, but unused to Australian scrub, walked up on easy tracks from the East to above the treeline, knew of a hut just a few km to the west (and with country perhaps not seeming too bad from Google Maps etc) and headed on.
But anyone who has walked SW from Mt K. below the treeline will know that it is horrendous to navigate on a good day, and almost impossible to find someone in. |
