New Zealand man found dead after failing to return from ‘challenging’ remote multi-day hike in Tasmania

Share this article

A New Zealand man who had been missing in the Tasmanian wilderness for days has been found dead from an apparent fall, police say.

Tasmania Police said the 27-year-old New Zealand national, who had been living in Melbourne, fell from a height in the rugged area of Federation Peak.

Police said searchers had located the man deceased from what they described as a “significant fall”.

A search was called after the man failed to finish a multi-day mountain hike in the rugged Tasmanian wilderness.

The hiker was believed to be without a personal locator beacon.

Ground crews were deployed to the Eastern Arthur Range on Tuesday afternoon after the 27-year-old failed to finish a traverse track as expected.

He set off from a campground on July 16 and told friends he was planning to complete the walk on Saturday or Sunday.

• Search underway for person off Whakaari/White Island
• Police ask for sightings of missing man Hirender Chandel

A rescue helicopter began searching on Tuesday morning, before four police, two wilderness paramedics and four SES volunteers joined the effort.

Tasmania Police were notified around 4pm on Monday after a friend reported the man was overdue and hadn’t been in touch since Friday.

Police Inspector Colin Riley said a collection of items, including a beanie, gloves and backpack were found just off a cliff face.

“The Eastern Arthur Range Traverse is challenging and would take most experienced bushwalkers six to nine days to complete,” police search controller Ben Cunningham said two days ago.

“While he is reported to be an experienced bushwalker, we don’t believe the man is in possession of a personal locator beacon.”

The searchers were unable to retrieve the body due to current weather conditions but are expected to be able to collect it within the next few days.

The man’s name has not been released, but he is said to be from the UK and was a New Zealand citizen. There are reports the man also had ‘military training’.

According to police, the man’s partner is in Australia and the family is ‘obviously distressed’ at the news.

Parks and Wildlife trail cameras photographed the man in the area before the tragic discovery.

The 72km hike, in Tasmania’s southwest, is described as being for physically capable and highly experienced walkers who are confident with navigation, cliff and rock scrambling and extreme weather.

In the past 10 years there have been six deaths and approximately 20 rescues in the region.

Police say there is “always a degree of risk” for hikers in the region.

Police warn hikers to walk in groups and be prepared with emergency food supplies. They also advise keeping a personal locator beacon available.

A report into the man’s death will be prepared for the Tasmanian coroner.

Why did a humpback whale capsize a boat? Here's what really happened.

Experts explain why the incident depicted in a viral video was an accident caused by natural feeding behaviors.

When an 80,000-pound humpback whale rockets out of the depths, not much can stand in its way.  

Brothers Wyatt and Colin Yager recently witnessed evidence of this off the coast of Odiorne Point in Rye, New Hampshire. They captured the shocking moment a humpback breached and then landed on the back side of a small nearby boat, capsizing the vessel. While the two people aboard were thrown into the water, neither the people nor the whale appeared to suffer any injuries.

Given that a group of orcas have been recently documented ramming and capsizing vessels off the coast of the Iberian Peninsula, the humpback incident has left some online jokingly wondering if the whales aren’t rising up in revolt.

  ( Why are orcas ramming boats? They might just be bored teenagers .)

Alisa Schulman-Janiger , a marine biologist and lead research biologist for the California Killer Whale Project, assures us that’s not the case. “This was an accident,” she says. “The whale did not attack the boat.”

It was “a collision between a whale 100 percent focused on feeding, and a fishing boat dead in the water (not making any noise),” she says. “In the video, you can see schooling fish jumping out of the water, and out of the whale's expanded mouth.”

Why do humpbacks breach?

Humpback whales typically feed on small crustaceans, known as krill , as well as   entire schools of fish ,   such as   anchovies, cod, sand lance, and capelin. To catch fish, the marine mammals sometimes herd their prey to the surface by releasing strategic curtains of bubbles that trick the fish into believing they’re trapped and have no choice but to go up.

Then, the humpbacks shoot up to the surface with their mouths open, swallowing up schools of fish in a single gulp.

In this case, Schulman-Janiger says the humpback in question had been observed feeding on Atlantic menhaden for several days in the Piscataqua River between Maine and New Hampshire—an unusual occurrence for that area, she notes.

The Coast Guard was apparently aware of the whale, the only one of its kind in the area, and had even issued notices to mariners so that they could watch out for it, according to Dianna Schulte , co-founder and director of research for the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation.

All of that said, Schulman-Janiger says the boat operators appear to have done nothing wrong. Their engine was off, and they were not trying to interact with the whale.  

In areas where baitfish (small, fast-breeding species) are concentrated, “humpback whales will gladly take advantage of the easy meal and may have little regard for what is on the surface, including boats,” according to a Facebook post from the New England/Mid-Atlantic department of NOAA Fisheries, “When feeding, humpback whales can be unpredictable and active at the surface.”

How to stay safe around whales

Fortunately, even landing on a human vessel wasn’t enough to deter the humpback from feasting. Schulman-Janiger notes that reports from the scene suggested that after the encounter, the whale continued to feed for another four hours.

At the same time, NOAA advises fishers not to cast lines or troll in areas near humpbacks or visible bubble netting activity . If a bubble cloud appears while you are already fishing, the agency recommends trying to remove your lines or gear, carefully, if possible.

According to NOAA, boats should slow to 10 knots in whale hotspots to prevent collisions, allowing for both you and the whale time to react.

“A collision with a vessel or entanglement in fishing lines can cause serious injuries to the whale and sometimes be fatal. Collisions with whales have also thrown boaters from vessels and caused serious injuries and even death to people.”
