Hiker rescue off Bluff Knoll in Stirling Range National Park second in five days

A man in his 20s is receiving assistance from St John and SES crews after falling sick on the Bluff Knoll hiking trail in the Stirling Range National Park. A spokesperson from the Department of Fire and Emergency Services said SES crews from Gnowangerup and Albany were assisting the man who had stopped around one to two kilometres from the Bluff Knoll carpark. St John and SES crews are still at the scene. It is the second time in five days a hiker has been rescued from Bluff Knoll after another man in his 20s fell sick while hiking the iconic peak on Saturday. Last year, four teenagers were rescued from the peak by the RAC helicopter after they became stranded overnight in September in freezing conditions.
