Geert and Warren in Cairns Base Hospital 1997

When he was sitting around a campfire on a remote island in Far North Queensland, Warren Macdonald made a life-changing decision.

He’d sparked up a conversation with a Dutch hiker named Geert van Keulen, and he decided to follow Geert up a mountain the following morning.

It was supposed to be a hiking adventure, but it ended in an unforeseeable accident that would change both their futures forever.
