How do you prevent people from walking alone? It can be quite dangerous in
remote areas in Australia and New Zealand - it isn't like Britain where
there is almost invariably a house around the corner. Regulations don't
prevent people getting into trouble in cases like this.

I beg to differ. There are many places in Britain where one can get lost.
Remote areas such as Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, The Dales, Yorkshire Moors,
Scottish Highlands.To mention a few.
These days one should be made to carry EPERBS and the like.

Hi, whilst I am very sorry to hear that this young woman has died, I feel it is the walkers responsibility not to take risks- she was tramping in torrential rain, and it sounds like the creek crossing should not have been attampted, particularly without a travel companion.
I am sure trampers who enjoy tramping alone would not like to see rules introduced whereby you must have a travel buddy with you, although for safety's sake I think you should always travel in three's- I know we used to when we did our seven day trips.

Further 'nannying' is not the answer.

People must learn again the lost art of taking responsibility for
themselves.
