This was on the front page of our paper the other day, he wasnt the only one in the team. my paper read there was another tourist who decided not to wait with his vehicle and try to walk to a nearby aborigional community for help, but he died en route -" if your lost in the bush you gotta stay with your vehicle and wait for help, if you try walking away - its a matter of hours, not days before your dead." apparently it was something like 47 degrees the day they got bogged.

i used to live in Dubbo on a property and although we were only 80 K from township, i stiill had a radio CB, 3 way attached to my car, and also a portable in my glovebox just in case i had to walk to get a signal. I feel the Australian Tourism Association should have more assistance for the tourists that come here, everyday you hear of someone lost in the desert! or picking up a hitchhiker! or just not expecting the dangerous heat and terrain that we have here!
