Three incidents keep search and rescue crews busy in Tasmania
Two walkers have been rescued in separate incidents and a man and a woman who got lost on a remote four-wheel drive track have also been helped to safety on a busy day for Tasmanian search and rescue crews.
Three incidents on Tasmania's West Coast kept search and rescue crews occupied recently. A man and a woman were rescued after their four-wheel drive became stuck on a remote track, south of Queenstown. They had been driving for several hours and became disoriented, eventually becoming stuck on a difficult section they could not pass.
The vehicle was safely recovered and driven back to Queenstown. Two bushwalkers also required assistance; one was lost in the Meander Falls area and another had difficulty during a walk on Flinders Island. Both were found safely, with no significant injuries. Police emphasized the importance of being prepared when venturing into Tasmania's bush, advising people to carry appropriate safety equipment.
