Hikers survived on 'trickle of water', muesli bars after days lost in Mount Buffalo bushlandAfter search teams spent four days scouring the mountainous terrain, a kayaker has found missing hikers Trevor Salvado and Cindy Bohan. Beautiful country, trying conditions and a pair of troopers. Hard not to like this story. What great news Glad they’re safe but can’t help wondering if they went properly prepared. Lots of people spent lots of time looking for them, and they caused a lot of worry to their family. Not such great bushwalkers after all, maybe.
