 The accident occurred on Pat McBride's Barrington Tops National Park walk. On Sunday at 9.30 am, the party was making its way down the steep river bed of the upper Allyn River. Christine Austin, who was directly behind Fazeley, saw a rock start to topple and made an attempt to stop it falling, but was unsuccessful (It probably weighed about 1001bs.) Chris yelled a warning but Fazeley was unable to get clear in time. The rock hit a log and tipped sideways onto her leg. It was immediately obvious that her leg was badly broken. The accident occurred on Pat McBride's Barrington Tops National Park walk.

 The rescue party, when it arrived at Lagoon Pinch, consisted of two policemen and an ambulance man. Barely adequate, Pat McBride told them, so while Craig and one policeman radioed and waited for more support, Pat, David, Wayne, policeman Ron Block and ambulanceman Bruce headed off. The rescue party, when it arrived at Lagoon Pinch, consisted of two policemen and an ambulance man.

-Fazeley and her companions heard the welcome coo'ees of this group just after 7pm, but the ordeal for poor Fazeley was not yet over. Thu makeshift splint was removed and an inflatable one substituted, and she was strapped to a stretcher. It was now dark as the party set out up the steep hill, through lawyer vines and dense scrub; over rocks and logs. (The roughest country in the state, the newspapers would say, but this time it was just about true!) Craig and more reinforcements joined tho struggling party after a couple of hours, but it was still hard-going for those carrying the stretcher, and at times only twenty feet or so were managed before 2 rust or change of carriers was needed. Also, Fazeley's splint had a leak, and had to be blown up again every 10 minutes or so.+Fazeley and her companions heard the welcome coo'ees of this group just after 7pm, but the ordeal for poor Fazeley was not yet over.
