Aussie tourist feared dead

Wednesday, 15 Oct, 2007 0

An AAP report says that an Australian woman is missing, feared drowned, after a white-water rafting accident in Zambia.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed the 23-year-old, who was on an adventure holiday in the African nation, was missing, presumed dead, the Adelaide Advertiser reported today.

Karleigh Baldock, from Goolwa, south of Adelaide, was on a six-week African holiday when she took the rafting expedition on the Zambezi River on Wednesday.

It was believed Ms Baldock went missing when her raft overturned in rapids and she lost her lifejacket, the Advertiser said.

Her father Kym said Ms Baldock’s mother Sharan and her brother Simon had already left for Africa.
