Search for Carolina Wilga

A female German backpacker is missing. Helicopters are being used to search for her in Western Australia, but so far without success. However, the police are not sure whether she might not also be in other parts of the country. The missing person's name is Carolina Wilga and she is 26 years old. Dieter Herrmann, editor-in-chief of WEEK IN AUSTRALIA, is an experienced outback visitor. He fears the missing person has made a big mistake.
