As stated by Senior Sergeant Kevin Stewart:
Eastern Police are reminding trampers and walkers to prepare before heading out this winter.
Whether it's a multi-day tramp or a day-walk, people are urged to plan their trips, prepare for all conditions, and properly equip themselves before setting off.
This includes making sure you take a locator beacon with you, which can be bought or hired, and can help Police and Search and Rescue teams quickly identify your location.
