Authorities are currently conducting a search for two hikers who are feared to have perished in a remote region of Victoria’s high country. The police have received reports indicating that the two men are believed to have lost their lives in a secluded hiking area known as Nelse, located east of Falls Creek.
While officers have not yet reached the site, they are en route to Lendenfeld Point, which is part of the area where the hikers were reported missing. It’s important to note that this search operation is entirely unrelated to the ongoing pursuit of suspected murderer Dezi Freeman, according to police statements.
Efforts to locate the hikers are pressing, given the challenging and isolated conditions of the terrain. The situation remains serious as authorities aim to establish a clearer understanding of the circumstances surrounding the hikers’ disappearance. The community is hopeful for a positive outcome as the search continues.
