AAPA 54-year-old English tourist has died while walking in extreme heat in gorges near Kalbarri in Western Australia.
Police received a call at 1pm (WDT) yesterday, saying a woman had died on the loop walk trail in the Kalbarri National Park, almost 600 kilometres north of Perth.
The body of the woman and her partner were found a little way off the track, Kalbarri police Sergeant Michael Tite said.
The partner was unhurt.
"We're not sure if they were disoriented or not," Sergeant Tite said.
Police said heat exhaustion might have been a factor in the death.
The temperature in Kalbarri was about 42 degrees yesterday with intense humidity caused by Cyclone Nicholas off the state's northern coast.
