I think he is still being held in custody, but laid no charges at this point in time.

Right you are. I stand corrected. Lengthy questioning, but no charges yet.

I edited my reply before, as it included some ponderings that I should refrain from until charges are laid etc.
Following with interest. Probably not helpful for me to though.

The news just mentioned the Jetstar employee has been charged. But really gave no details past that.

Police are now concentrating their search efforts for the remains of the 2 campers around the Grant Historical Area about 15k north of Dargo. The area has been closed to the public and a large contingent of police are in the area with the search to begin today Monday 29/11. The Grant area has an abundance of mine shafts dating back to the 1800's gold rush days....some well-known and many others relatively undiscovered.....for police to concentrate their efforts on this area rather than up at Arbuckle Junction where Lynn was arrested or back in the Wonnangatta Valley where the couple were camped indicates to me that Lynn may have made some admissions during his 72 hours in custody after his arrest. Cheers

There was no way the bodies would at Arbuckle junction if he left via the Great Alpine Road. Something prompted Police to move in on him prematurely. Police say it was a concern for his welfare. Unfortunately we will probably not know much more until May next year at least. If he was cooperating with Police to help them find the bodies he would be at the scene.

I thought GAR was a wild shovel chase. And seems that they've now found human remains in Grant area.

Committal mention this week. So we should get some idea as to what happened. ABC report: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-16/ ... /101855340

More correctly it is a committal hearing set down for four days, the last day is the 23rd when the ballistics expert is available. Media grabbed evidence from a weed sprayer who said Russel Clay appeared to be a grumpy old man. This was a judgement made because he did not stop to talk to him. 'he appeared to be in a hurry to get to his camp'. 'thought he was having an argument' Seriously flawed evidence. No foundation for these assumptions and all based on a fleeting glimpse. Hopefully something more substantial comes out today.

Well, it's all over and my already low opinion of John Silvester has been confirmed. Whoever button man is he never deserved to be made into a schlock punchline to sell papers.

I just found out that I used to know Greg Lynn. He and two members of my family rafted the Denison River together back in the 1990's, and I went caving with him around that time too, as well as various other activities. He used to live at Evandale (Tasmania). A really nice guy when I knew him, and it didn't occur to me that this could be the same bloke until my brother and father told me on the weekend.

A related news article from today - https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/goo ... one-rescue

Matilda Campbell was bushwalking with friends at Laguna, near Cessnock in the Hunter Valley, earlier this month when she dropped her mobile phone while taking photos.

Campbell, 23, slipped into the three-metre-deep gap between two boulders while trying to retrieve her phone – and was left dangling by her feet for seven hours.
