Each year in the Blue Mountains, as many as 400 visitors will become lost or need rescuing, with many spending an unexpected night in the bush. Similar incidents happen repeatedly in the same locations, within just a few kilometres of civilisation. And yet most visitors are unaware of how easy it is to suffer a broken ankle requiring them to be helicoptered out, or how quickly they can become stuck overnight in freezing weather until they're rescued the next morning.Mountains Mishaps tells the stories of more than 620 of these incidents across the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, from the 1870s to the present day. While the focus of the book is on incidents that occur in the bush, it also includes some of the more remarkable incidents on the roads, in the air, and on the railways, too. Readers will learn of the incidence of snow, storms, floods, landslides, and tremors. There is also a history of the local geology, railways and local emergency services. This is an important and unique book which could save your life. Or at least save you from an embarrassing night in the bush! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
