There's probably not much linking the people except they are in the same general area but it does show how easy it is to lose someone (or something) in that sort of country.

Love the place Tote
One of my favorite places for a week or so away. It might be the campsite firelight spooky yarn plus now. I did give the kids a little dose of the history of Wonnangatta station. It did possibly help stop them wandering too far away in the dark

The Yarn is here Wonnangatta murders - Wikipedia

I am a little more than surprised the two "Russell Hill and Carol Clay " have not been found. Neither were in shape to make it far into the bush.The other two lost are not really that surprising. It is one thick and steep plus area. I would like to have seen a Deer dog crew helping as those hunters are fit lads and laddies. AKA Mountain goats for some of them. Its national park so off limits for the dogs.

I expect once the gates open again a bigger effort might help find some remains. A lot of wild dogs in the area as well will mean some not all will be recovered. I feel for the families.

In that area 2 years ago we were stopped by a cocky who'd lost his hunting dogs..one had a tracker fitted. It's in the valley somewhere he said pointing to an area about the size of Tassie.

It'll probably join the wild dogs he said but keep an eye out for me in case you see it😞

He then booted the new 79 series bucking and scrambling up the track which we'd driven easily that morning. What a pos my boys said, look at the damage he's doing!

We never saw the dog but in many places in Vic hc we heard them at night. Saw many traps too nearer to farm land..one on Elliots Tk with a live dog waiting to be shot.

Doubt that a human carcass would last long out there.

I stopped for a cuppa up on the Tamboritha road about 30 years ago & heard a noise in the bush , went & had a look & a humungous wild dog was trapped in a snare with a festering wound, couldn't get near it as it was viscous & foaming at the mouth with evil eyes , so grabbed rifle from the Landy and shot it. Would not go walking on my own up there , or even two of us. wouldn't even camp in a swag or tent. bugger that.

Yeah, lots of wild dogs up there - seen a few in my time when I lived up that way, but you know the real reason is a Black Panther right?

We had a guy come up to the camp at Licola while I was working there looking for info on one - he had some pics he showed us of what he claimed to be said Black Panther up on the ridge above the camp - looked like a log to me, they were unfocused and grainy and taken around 6 years prior - so mid 90's - not sure how long Panthers live...

like Wolf Creek, has Mick moved East now?

It's obviously Alien Kidnapping & Probing etc.
Nothing else explains it.

And there are no laws against it.

it might be the big black cougar people think they see...

.....or might be the big hairy guy, sasquatch or whatever his name is.....

both have been seen up there according to this forum.
