Tasmania is well-known for its beauty. But, deep within the dark bushland lies a string of secrets. 169 people have gone missing on the island since the mid 20th century, and dozens of those without a trace from the wilderness…..their bodies never recovered. The Lost Ones looks into the stories of those who’ve disappeared into the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, and asks the question, have they fallen victim to foul play?

Dense and Deadly
Tasmania has a unique geology because of its karst landscape, meaning its surface is pockmarked by caves. The openings to these caves are often obscured by vegetation, with hikers, cavers, bushwalkers and adventurers sometimes plummeting to their deaths - never to be seen again. The island is also beset by other dangers like freezing cold, dense vegetation and freezing cold. And the Tasmanian devils are known for their ability to disappear a human body.
