Me too, but it's looking more like a Bermuda Triangle situation with every passing day. Their poor family, no doubt trying to keep hope alive but nobody is even searching anymore.

Not good news at all. I really hope they faked their own disappearance and are happily sun-baking somewhere on a remote island.
Back to reality though, if the police have called off their ground search they have all but given up hope on finding the couple alive in that area.
Deep mine shafts or foul play are probably the two most likely causes for their disappearance - confronting but unfortunately true.
Hope for a miracle!

Not looking good but got to think positive hope there found safe and well.
The harsh reality lads is that there is no point in searching anymore!
WA's outback temps are 40 deg cel in the shade.....you will not survive out there more than 3 days without water.
Its not like the GT here in Vic at all, its a different world to what we all know.
Its most likely they had long perished even before the search began, and the vast open spaces make any search of such an area extremely difficult.

So true, I was talking with a mate who travels that way frequently and visits many of the stations as well, he passed on a story of a truck driver that went missing. The station owner had an idea of where he may have been and took off. He found the person and unfortunately he was well gone.
He had left the vehicle, thinking he could walk back to the main road for help as he wasn't far down the track. He had taken a bottle of water with him, but in the heat had not got very far. He was found blackened by the sun only a couple of k's from his vehicle.
All of that happened in 24 hours !

I remember that incident. He got to within a whisker of the station before deciding to turn back for the truck. Had he kept walking he'd have made it. Should have stayed at the truck ofcourse. The weather was quite mild so heat wouldn't have been an issue for the couple. I'm thinking if they'd fallen down a mineshaft they'd probably have been found closer to camp already and having not been found in the vicinity of their camp it sounds more like they'd got lost, though based on where they were camped and the fact Mr Kehlet was an experienced bush man with basic by sun navigation they'd easily have been able to walk to an intersecting highway. Still thinking foul play is the most likely scenario based on the mysterious circumstances.

Theres a lot of strange characters out in that country, run into a few that get my weird meter clicking, sad to think they may have fallen victim to something like that or to have perished in any way for that matter, but things just don't add up, an explanation may turn up but more than likely they will become one of the many "Outback" Stories that this great land has on offer. 8.(
A bit 80's, but you get the idea!

I do hope these people are found.
But if anyone is heading out in extreme remote areas you need to have with you an epirb or
some sort of gps tracking system they use for dogs.
Something like below.
You simply leave the gps tracker at base camp and carry with you the receiver.
If something happens and the search party comes across your camp then its a matter of
switching the gps tracker on for your location. You can even leave a note with it.

Jack Absalom, that brings back memories. Malcolm Douglas had some great tips also. The plastic sheet for extracting water from Green vegetation was a great one, he said it was one of his most important pieces of survival gear.
Yes Heatho your right....Malcolm was my hero back in the day (very sad ending) as was Major Les Hiddins, the Bush Tucker Man!
I know Jacks vid's are old now, but most of the survival techniques for the outback never change! There are some good tips you can take from it if you watch it through.
Did have a bit of a laugh with the blow-up car jack bag though......reminded me of the very funny Russell Coit (Glenn Robbins), All Aussie Adventures! lol
Cheers mate

Thanks for posting Meta, I still remember watching this episode on TV, Jack was always great to watch but Malcolm Douglas is (was) a legend and I could never get enough of these shows as a kid.
Hopefully the positive to come out of this tragic situation with these two missing in W.A. is making everyone more aware of how easy things can turn bad, I think this thread has really achieved that but unfortunately at the expense of others possible mistakes.

That was bloody brilliant Meta!!
Aaaah, the simple days when the only terrorists we had to worry about were the tourists. :| not to mention the cars were a lot simpler then too!!
Some great tips in that vid but his jokes need a bit of work
Brings back some great memories as it reminds me of the great times I had out in the "corner country" in NSW on a mates property.
It was an unwritten rule that water was to be taken everywhere we went and a good look at a map before we ventured off for the day on the bikes.
The dog fence and gates, stock rules etc were also drummed into us!
Hope there is a good outcome for these two people missing and I hope that their family and friends are coping as best they can in such terrible circumstances and some sort of resolution is found very soon.
Cheers,
Billy.
P.S. Not to make light of the situation but, BRING BACK THE COIGHT!!!!
