The Chinese Consulate General in Melbourne confirmed on the 6th that Chinese citizens were killed accidentally while hiking in Victoria and Tasmania, Australia recently. The Consulate General once again solemnly reminds that overseas travel must focus on safety and make full preparations.

According to Australia media reports on the 5th, Victorian police found two foreign women (later confirmed to be China nationals) dead while hiking in the Bogong Mountains area of the state due to loss of temperature due to severe weather. On September 27, four China tourists were trapped due to weather while hiking in Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. One of them died and the remaining three were rescued.

The Consulate General in Melbourne deeply regrets the unfortunate death of Chinese citizens, and solemnly reminds Chinese citizens in the consular district that overseas travel must put safety first, and do not blindly follow the trend and participate in high-risk projects beyond the scope of their ability, so as to avoid unnecessary security risks. If you really need to participate in related projects, you should receive professional training and escort in strict accordance with the requirements. In case of bad weather or too difficult route, you should retreat decisively or change your plan to avoid taking risks.
