On May 14 two women were rescued from the mid point of the 42 traverse after becoming lost among the myriad of tracks in the area. This was a night mission and required the helicopter to perform a low hoist as they were unable to land in the small clearings available.
The women were nearing hypothermia in the freezing, but clear conditions.
