Karijini ~ SES rescue ~ again !

G'day everyone

This is a quick post, just to let any one intending on visiting the Karijini N/P gorges. There was a full scale muster of the Tom Price ~ State Emergency Services ~ for the rescue of a young woman who had a serious fall deep down at Handrail Pool, a couple of days ago. It was reported that she had severe back injuries including other superficial injuries.

Tom Price SES took around two hours to muster and arrive at the incident site, then after the set up of equipment and subsequent rescue, the patient would have endured several hours of pain in the bitter cold of the night.

Turns out she was "bashed, broken and bloodied" buy the fall but will make a good physical recovery ~ again volunteers to the aid of someone in distress and possibly putting their lives on the line.

Today its raining steadily in the east Pilbara region and it rained right through the night, all unsealed roads/tracks are closed, so I can only guess that there are many travellers out in the back blocks ~ sitting it out ~ for a few days at least.

Please think before you act, because help could be a long, long way away !!
