This is a sad reminder that when bushwalking the weather and environment can change rapidly. If you’re going to be solo hiking (or even hiking in a group) to bring a personal locator beacon and first aid kit even if you’re familiar with the area you’re hiking in.
You can hire them for a relatively cheap price from plenty of places and they don’t even take up much room! In the past I’ve hired them from the Blue Mountains Police and Macpac at Town Hall.
Addit: I should also add that it’s important to dress for all seasons when hiking. Especially in winter. Dressing in layers and ensuring you have a hard shell layer to stop wind chill and rain/snow.
I don’t have context but fuck yea in terms of keeping safe.
That page loaded surprisingly fast for a new site.
Why is this national news? Why is federal parliament standing for a minutes silence? I don’t have free to air, was the search for this person a big media deal for the past week? That news story kept escalating from local police, to NSW Premier, to federal parliament and the Prime Minister. What is going on?
I guess I only heard about it from my partner, but yeah looks like it gained significant public interest for the last week and a bit. Has all the ingredients to do so, the unknown of will they be found combined with the age and rarity of the event itself.
AKA young white girl?
Hot take but I would say Hadi Nazari got way more attention back at the start of 2025 when he was lost in Kosciuszko national park, even before he was found alive.
I’d say it’s less about the ethnicity and more in relation to how young and rare this event is as Dimand said. It’s likely gained popularity because people were hoping to find them alive.
…because she’s white
I have to ask, do you have any evidence to show that she’s only receiving coverage because of her skin colour? As Dimand said, Hadi Nazari received far more coverage than this.
No just complaining, admittedly
