Federation Peak: A Deadly First Attempt | Sydney News

A thirty-year-old Victorian climber died while attempting Federation Peak in Tasmania — a deadly first-time bushwalk that experts warn is far too dangerous for inexperienced hikers. Despite being fit and having just completed a grueling 12-day hike, he and his partner got lost on the poorly marked Eastern Arthur Range Traverse, turned back after realizing the sheer drops, and then tragically fell 80–100 meters. His death joins two others in the same remote area within two years. The coroner issued a stark warning: this peak demands technical climbing skills and isn’t suited for beginners. Authorities are updating safety info to prevent future tragedies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
