The search for Hadi Nazari, who went missing on December 26 while hiking the challenging Hannels Spur trail, has intensified with the deployment of specialist police and volunteers. The rugged terrain and hot conditions are making the search challenging.
The search for missing hiker Hadi Nazari has intensified with specialist police and volunteers combing through challenging bushland in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains. Six rescue and bomb disposal unit specialist police officers were winched into remote areas by aircraft to expedite the search. Nazari, 23, was last seen by friends on December 26 descending the Hannels Spur trail. Six specially trained volunteers were planning to camp to further extend the search, which resumed on Sunday.
More than 300 people have searched for Nazari since he went missing, Riverina police district Acting Supt Jill Gibson said on Saturday. The weekend’s hot and humid conditions added to the difficulties searchers faced. Authorities narrowed the search area near the Kosciuszko River on Tuesday. An experienced bushwalking guide, Doug Chatten, said the area was unforgiving, particularly for anyone who ventured away from the trail. “If you’re off the track, it’s bloody tough country,” he said. “It’s no easy walk, that’s for sure … you’d be a hard person to find.” The Hannels Spur trail, with its 1800m elevation change, is one of Australia’s most difficult bushwalking routes
