A command post was established at the Kiandra Courthouse, on the Snowy Mountains Highway, Kiandra and a search was launched.

The wide-scale search involved officers attached to Monaro Police District with assistance from the Mounted Unit, Dog Unit, SES, National Parks and Wildlife Service, Rural Fire Service and a Surf Life Saving Helicopter. Members of the public also assisted.

At about 4:50 pm today (27 October), the woman was located injured by a National Parks and Wildlife Service officer on the Nungar Creek Trail at Kiandra.

She was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for exposure and what is believed to be a snake bite, before she was taken to Cooma District Hospital in a stable condition.

Police would like to thank those involved in the multi-agency search, members of the public and the media for their assistance.
