Shared on faceache as soon as I saw it, so hope it turns out OK

That's not good, ive never been to the high country, can you obtain any sort of drinking water from any rivers etc, because 4 days over due ,would be stretching any ones water reserves id think ?

Im guessing little to no phone service up that way as well ?

[threedogs]

Not good at all , its gets pretty cool overnight as well, fingers crossed on this one
Hoping for a good outcome

[Ashish]

Shared on facebook as soon as read the post. Hope its only extended camping.

Just heard on the news that they were experienced and had a PLB or Ebrib with them.

Either good news that they have stayed a few days camping for what ever reason or very bad if they are in trouble and can't activate their PLB

[Bigcol]

have the Police and SES been notified?

have they started a search?

[threedogs]

They have a very wide search area all the way down to Bemm river.
Time will tell on this one I think

driven into a wilderness area, that's not good. Hope I have the wrong end of the stick.

Yeah agreed without speculating too much at this stage. The few tracks through there are very overgrown verging on nonexistent by now.

[MudRunnerTD]

No I don't think they were "off track" just into some heavy country. It is Seasonal Closures now do the traffic in that area is very low. They were very lucky but sounds like they were setup for bush camping

[BigRAWesty]

Yea sounds like they are prepared..

[threedogs]

A good lesson there for any newbie and not so newbie, is you cant be over prepare.
Sounds like they had all bases covered,
Not believing the bit where the Patrol was bogged just sensational newspaper reporting
to sell headlines.
Re-do the story with a Jeep and nobody would give a toss,lol [joking]
