    Abstracts only Lost in Tasmania’s wilderness karst Arthur Clarke Email: [email protected] From 1962-1995, four young men have disappeared without a trace (never seen again) after traversing separate areas of Tasmania’s southern wilderness karst. During the latter part of this same period, a student teacher and two young high school pupils drowned in Mystery Creek Cave in the far south of Tasmania. To this day, the disappearance of the 15 year old Guy Bardenhagen near Mount Picton in late January 1962 remains a mystery. Bardenhagen was with two fellow YMCA members led by then YMCA Southern Secretary, on a bushwalk from the old Lake Pedder to Geeveston. On January 30 th 1962, the party of four made a detour to climb Mt. Picton, departing from their campsite at North Lake , south of Red Rag Scarp. After lagging behind the others, Bardenhagen failed to reach the summit, but did not return to the camp site. Given the proximity of the known karstified Pre-Cambrian dolomite and nearby pseudokarst, it is possible that Bardenhagen fell into a crevice or vertical opening following his separation from the other walkers. An intense weeklong search failed to locate any sign of Bardenhagen. In mid-October 1969, John Boyle, became lost when separated from three other cavers in the forested sub-alpine dolomite karst on the northeast ridge of Mount Anne, east of Lake Pedder . Reported in the media as a “lost Sydney caver”, the 26 year old Boyle was actually a member of the Tasmanian Caverneering Club (TCC) on a club trip lead by former flatmate Alan Keller.

  • Australian Mountaineering in the Great Ranges of Asia, 1922–1990
    28 Where are the women? The statistics on female Australian climbers in the Himalaya up to 1990 were not impressive. None had climbed an 8000 m mountain or indeed a 7000 m peak. In fact, there had been fewer than 20 attempts in total on major Himalayan peaks by Australian women. Curiously enough, the distribution of this very small sample was strongly bimodal, with seven attempts on 6000 m peaks and eight on 8000 m peaks, but only two on 7000 m mountains. Of these attempts, only a handful was successful. By 1990, apart from a very few who climbed trekking peaks, only two Australian women had stood on the summits of Himalayan mountains 6000 m or higher. And no Australian woman had climbed past 8000 m. This Himalayan record is even more surprising given the strong role that Australian women played in the development of Australian alpine climbing earlier in the past century. Indeed, in the early history of Australian mountaineering in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, it was the women who took a decided lead over their male counterparts. As noted in Chapter 4, Dot Butler was the main driving force in establishing training courses for Australians in the Southern Alps in the 1960s. She was one of Australia’s leading alpinists in her own right and was a qualified guide at Mt Cook. Even before Butler, however, there were two other Australian women who excelled in alpine climbing; in fact, they were arguably Australia’s best alpine climbers of their era and certainly more well known than any Australian male climbers.
