How many people, the impression of Australia is this.
Sparsely populated, primitive Australia, about 70 percent of its land is arid or semi-arid, with deserts and semi-deserts covering 3.4 million square kilometers, or about 44 percent of the total.
So be careful, don't play, and in the last three weeks, there have been three deaths on a wild trip in western Australia. An explorer died in (Kalbarri National Park), Calbari National Park; a motorcyclist burst into an accident in remote Kimberley; last week, the body of an experienced prospector was found in the inaccessible Coolgardie bushes.

Jo McCabe, the regional commander of the Western Australian Police, said there had been about 100 cases of missing persons on the ground so far, and feared that more people would die this summer.
We are very worried because when people travel in remote and regional areas, they are not well prepared.
In the wild, the woman, Brooke Phillips, may be much more fortunate.
A month ago, she drove to a community in Western Australia on the border between the Northern Territory and South Australia.
On, Brooke found something wrong. Because the view outside the window, from this,
It's like this.
Only then did Brooke discover that she had gone in the wrong direction, driving into the desert, and that the heart-broken Brooke, was driving like a headless fly looking for a way in the desert.
Uninhabited deserts not only do not have a hint of signal, but also extremely high temperatures. Although Brooke uses towels to plug windows and air-conditioners in the car run out of fuel, the heat in the car is only rising.
The deadliest thing is that Brooke underestimated the dangers of her environment, and on her first night trapped in the desert, she drank all the water she had with her.
The next day, Brooke collected some Rain Water, but only a few milliliters, which is extremely water shortage of her, no use at all.
At this point, Brooke thought that a week ago, she had gone to pick up her daughter, who had just finished the picnic, and she might still have some food in her package! She opened the trunk of the car and found half a jar of pasta sauce and leaf cream and several packs of biscuits.
Brooke saw a glimmer of hope.
But good luck is temporary, and the sauce has been eaten by hungry Brooke. In the desert, water is life, no water supply, and she's almost out of it.
I still have a few cookies left, but I can't swallow them because it only sticks to my mouth.
On the fifth day of his life in the desert, Brooke decided to drink his own urine with the mentality of a try. The day passed, and in the face of the harsh living environment and the lack of energy sources, Brooke was disheartened.'no one will save me,'he said. No one loves me, why else can't they find me now?
Disappointed, she didn't even hear the engine stop at the rescue workers, thinking she was hallucinating.
Six days after being trapped in the desert, Brooke was taken as soon as possible to the nearby Blackstone neighborhood for a medical examination, shocking nurses who thought she was dying.
The police said she was lucky to be alive.
Western Australian police officer prosecutor Ke Craig Davis said that Brooke's family had issued an alarm after his disappearance and that the local community had organized 12 police officers and 20 staff to conduct land and air searches.
Davis praised Brooke for following the most important principle of survival in the wild: choosing to stay in the car waiting for rescue, but it was clear that Brooke was not ready for bad conditions.
After recovering, Brooke was alarmed when she learned of the recent series of inland deaths and advised all field travelers to read survival skills.
The following are police tips for field hikers and campers:
- Make sure you have enough fuel and more than two spare tyres
- Make sure you have a detailed, up-to-date version of the map
- If your original alignment cannot be entered, plan an alternate alignment
- Make sure you have an emergency wireless beacon or a personal location beacon
- Satellite phones are very valuable, and if you need help, it will ensure that rescuers can find you as soon as possible
- If you are going to a very remote area, be sure to carry the HF and CB radio with you
- Tell others where you are going and when you will arrive. Confirm your arrival with them
- To understand the law of survival, we can better explore the unknown, have to admit that this is the real, ecological Australia
