[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 665274, member: 7268"] No denying one can easily become disorientated but common sense just as easily solves the issue in many cases. Have a look where they were situated? Lost alarm raised at 8.20 pm Thur and found 3.00 pm Friday. So your disorientated and know darkness is approaching. Make your way to a high point and given their location with surrounding towns, a light could / would be seen. No luck then at daylight Face-towards Sun being East (Morning) and stretch out Your Arms- Right Hand side is South, Left hand side is North and your Back is towards West direction. Given their location walk toward your left arm and your going to hit Bass strait. That's not rocket science that's just simply common sense. I guess it's easier to pack a PLB than your brain 😂 Now some may think I'm being rather harsh here ? But guess why another reason gates are being locked? Station owners get sick of bailing people out of the proverbial. Food for thought perhaps as in the eye of the public the headline is not doing any favours for most on this forum. [HEADING=2][COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]Gold prospecting [/COLOR]duo found after becoming lost in remote north-west Tasmania 🤔[/HEADING] But happy hunting guys and girls and hope your seasons prosperous.
