Bushwalking safety in the spotlight after WA rescue
The remarkable rescue of a 26-year-old German backpacker from WA's outback has focused attention on the safety of hiking.
Carolina Wilga was missing for 12 days when she was found alive with just minor injuries.
And while the circumstances of how Caroline survived for almost two weeks are yet to come to light, professional hikers are urging people to do their research before attempting walks in difficult terrain.
