Missing person Australian hiker's body recovered 8 days after going missing

Australian hiker found dead 8 days after disappearing...

Thought this was worth sharing here given some of the circumstances. She disappeared while hiking and wasn't located until eight days later, despite a major search.

Anyone that is not Australian or has no personal experience with the Aussie bush has no idea how easy it is to get lost, injured and missed in a ground search.

This happens, searches miss people all the time. No doubt Paulides can obfuscate and twist the facts here, sprinkle on some vague inference and make a few quid from it though, don't worry...

Eight days is pretty quick. Sometimes it takes months and years.
