Well its been unusually quiet and then well they say things come in three's. Thursday early evening (13/8) get a page for a search in the Alligator Gorge a walker has become lost. Thankfully she was able to provide coordinates, the tricky part getting GPS signal in the bottom of the Gorge. She had decided to try and climb out thinking it would be easy. Once located we were able to guide back along the creek and walk out to the car park. Anybody that has done this walk knows there's about 300 steps down. Then Saturday (15/8) get a page same location but thankfully close to the bottom of the steps for an ankle injury. Some members made the stair climb twice. And Monday (24/8) MV rollover, location Wilmington Rd. Now this road runs off the Horrocks Highway just north of town and heads to Hammond. A search of the pin drop and no crash, however Adelaide Fire was concerned that the location was incorrect and after discussion we headed to Horrocks Pass road connecting Wilmington with the Port Augusta Highway. A responding CFS member that lives that side had found the rollover, there is a GRN/Mobile phone blackspot in the pass so could not relay that info. The occupants had left the scene and taken the number plates. SAPOL, SAAS and Quorn SES also on scene.
