Volunteer search and rescue in Victorian bush and alpine regions
BSAR was involved in the unsuccessful large-scale search for a missing bushwalker at Dom Dom Saddle in March 2008, and in further searching in April 2008.
Police requested BSAR’s assistance for a third time, for another search effort by the Police Search and Rescue Squad on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October 2008.
This search found no trace of the missing bushwalker.
We are now Bush Search and Rescue Victoria following a vote to comfirm our name change from Bushwalkers Search and Rescue.
Our name is also shortened to “Bush Search and Rescue” for common usage and elsewhere on this site.
We are also developing a new logo to match our new name.
