On Wednesday 19 February 2014 the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked to attend the South West for a lost walker.

Phone contact was made with the lost walker (24 year old male from Germany) and it was established he was in the vicinity of “Lots Wife” a mountain peak near Mt Anne.

The helicopter flew to the area and after approximately 40 minutes located the male. He was stranded on the northern side of Lots wife in a steep section of track. The helicopter landed nearby and the crew walked to the stranded walker’s location.

The male was guided back to the helicopter without any injuries.

Still photographs have been taken and are located at Rotor Lift.
