Eyewatch – Moorabool Police Service Area<\/strong><\/p>\n

Losing track of where you’re going on a hike is anything but hill-arious. <\/p>\n

The GPS in your phone relies on the mobile network to render maps, and if you\u2019re lucky to have reception, they often lack detail required for bushwalking. So, make sure you have a detailed map either on paper or downloaded to your phone before setting off. <\/p>\n

You can access these through various outdoor apps including Parks Victoria’s More to Explore.<\/p>\n

To summit-all up, here are some other tips to remember for your next hike:
\n– Plan your trip and know your limits
\n– Tell family and friends your intended route
\n– Pack sufficient food and water
\n– Dress for conditions and have enough to cover you for worst-case scenarios.<\/p>\n

Our \u2018Trip intentions form\u2019 is also handy doc to familiarise yourself with. It\u2019s got key contacts and information you should know before you head out. Once filled in, we recommend leaving it with a reliable friend, family member or responsible authority.<\/p>\n

You can find it and other info on outdoor and bush safety at www.police.vic.gov.au\/outdoor-and-bush-safety<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
