The woman failed to return from a hike yesterday afternoon, prompting a late-night search by PolAir and local crews.<\/p>\n
A renewed search commenced this morning, with police patrols, Mounted Operations and SES volunteers.<\/p>\n
The woman, who police described as an experienced hiker, was walking with her friend.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Paul Isherwood said the friend decided to return to town about 4pm, leaving the 66-year-old to climb the summit alone.<\/p>\n
SES North duty officer Ben Birbeck said volunteers were dealing with wet conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We’ve had a long wet period in the region, so there’s a bit of dampness and water in the area,” he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Police described the search conditions as “clear and cool”. (ABC North & West: Isabella Kelly)<\/p>\n
Superintendent Isherwood said the terrain was “very steep and fairly challenging”.<\/p>\n
Crews were searching by foot, drone and on motorbikes and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs).<\/p>\n
The popular hiking spot in South Australia’s Mid North region is about 250 to 290 kilometres north of Adelaide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 66-year-old New South Wales woman has been found in Mount Remarkable National Park in South Australia.
