At 12:00pm on Monday 5/9/16 Tasmania Police were notified of an overdue 56 year old Judbury man who was bushwalking in the area of Lake Skinner and the Snowy Range, Tasmania Police say.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was activated and shortly after the activation a PLB was activated by the missing man. The helicopter was unable to reach the location due to high wind and low cloud. However the rescue crew were able to walk to the location of the PLB where they found the missing man who was uninjured.
Due to weather conditions the crew is camping on Snowy South for the night and will attempt to walk out with the man in the morning.
