Tourists found after night in national park.

Tourists found after night in national park. :

"Five Chinese tourists and two guides reported missing overnight in the Kosciusko National Park have been found."

This is about the third group to go missing in our national parks in as many weeks. They obviously haven't been taking a cut lunch and compass. Fortunately, nothing serious has happened but I think we have had enough incidents to remind us to wake up! Our national parks are massive. The best one, if I may say that, was the other night when Channel 10 news showed the senior citizens who'd got lost on one of their tours. One of the daughters was on the news: "That's it , Mum, you are grounded!!" The poor daughter was crying tears of relief and the little mother was standing their stalwartly not a bit chastened. It looked so human and so funny. The daughter had obviously worried herself sick about her Mum.
