Even if you’re an experienced hiker, even if you’ve lodged your trip plan with friends and family, even if you have adequate supplies, unexpected things can happen. It’s always safer to hike with others than alone
It's the second bushwalker death in a week in Tasmania, and police are repeating warnings for walkers to be prepared and not walk alone.

WA's gas and electricity prices have tripled since 2020, after the WA Gov let Woodside export domestic gas reserves.
Now Woodside want a 50 year extension for their North West Shelf export terminal.
If it's approved, it will lock in higher prices for decades.
