Bushwalk Australia

RIP

Hypothermia makes it really hard to parse what might have happened. Its such an insidious thing. Hopefully we can learn somethings from this as the investigation continues.

they picked a non standard, long route, some of it over demanding exposed terrain. could well have been twelve hours or more walk in a single day..

Inadequate gear and preparation?

theres no information been made available on that.

The weather conditions as described in that report don't seem so extreme - others have survived far worse conditions.

And there were others in the same area at the time.

So certainly a puzzling event.

theres varying reports on the weather. I know the area well, and its notorious for localised extreme weather, i lived nearby and the difference in weather could be marked, people get caught out in the warmer seasons, the seasonal weather isnt cut and dry at all...
