Two Women Found Dead Near Nelse Hut, Tas Hikers Live To Tell Tale

In a grim Friday afternoon finding fit for an Australian true-crime podcast nobody asked for, hikers near the remote Nelse Hut—400km northeast of Melbourne, because who doesn't love a long, nerve-wracking nature expedition?—discovered two women’s bodies in the Victorian high country. Tasmanian police separately reported a drowning death in Franklin River plus the heroic rescue of 11 stranded hikers. No foul play suspected, so apparently the wild decided just to politely reclaim its real estate without opening a full CSI season. Emergency crews are now delicately fishing memories and bodies from Mother Nature's relentless embrace. Stay tuned or just avoid hiking altogether.
