Rescue efforts to retrieve a child lost in snow in Tasmania’s Central Highlands have been hampered by bad weather as the operation enters a second night. The child, believed to be suffering hypothermia, became lost with two adults while bushwalking in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park. Inspector Michael Johnston said the group activated a personal locator beacon shortly before 4.30pm on Sunday.
“We understand the group was planning a day walk, but were overpowered by the conditions they faced,” he said on Monday. Bad weather meant the rescue helicopter was unable to fly and a ground crew, made up of eight police SES and Ambulance Tasmania personnel, walked to the area on Sunday night. They reached the bushwalkers about 2.30am on Monday.
