Emergency
services have launched a search and rescue operation after a Swiss tourist activated an emergency
beacon in Western Australia's remote
Pilbara.
The Search and Rescue Co-ordination Centre in
Canberra has sent a plane from
Perth to drop off a radio to the man who is believed to be stranded on the Talawana Track, 1,000 kilometres east of
Karratha.
It is believed the man is travelling in a campervan from
Perth to
Cairns.
Police hope to be able to find out the man's condition once they have established communications with him.

Perhaps there's a shortage of radios in the area. Fancy sending a plane out all the way from
Perth.
