Frustrated authorities have warned hikers and climbers to think twice before they trek, after a search and rescue team braved treacherous conditions to rescue stranded hikers in Tasmania, Australia.
Last weekend, the small group of hikers headed up the Mount Anne mountain, which sits alongside the serene Lake Pedder in South West Tasmania. Despite its beautiful nature, the Tasmanian wilderness can be subject to extreme conditions. Ignoring ‘severe’ weather warnings, the group decided to attempt the hike and camp overnight in the surrounding area.
