Police warned people to prepare for extreme inland conditions after a 27-year-old man was dehydrated to death on foot in Western Australia.
On Saturday, Western Australia's 27-year-old lawyer, Muzahid (Kismatual Muzahid), died of dehydration after walking 8 kilometers (150km north of Gerald (Geraldton) to (Kalbarri), Karbari, according to Radio 7.
In the heat of the weather, Muzhid prepared only three bottles of water for the four-hour hike, and eventually dehydrated and fainted.
Authorities say that although the temperature is only 28 degrees Celsius, but the canyon body temperature could reach 40 degrees Celsius. Western Australian police have repeatedly stressed the dangers of weather, especially in areas where there is no cell phone signal.

Muzahid was known to have been walking with two friends from Sydney, fainting just 600 meters from the parking lot. When emergency medical staff arrived, Muzahid was dead.
It was the fourth foot death in (Kalbarri National Park), Calbari National Park, in the past 10 years. Western Australian police once again remind tourists to raise awareness of water replenishment.
McGowan (Mark McGowan), the governor of Western Australia, said the land was broad and beautiful, and all aspects were worth exploring and experiencing the true beauty of the interior. But people must take adequate precautions and carry enough drinking water.
