The bodies of a father and son from the UK have been recovered in Australia’s Blue Mountains.

They were killed in a landslide while on holiday.

New South Wales Police said the bodies of the 49-year-old man and nine-year-old were recovered by a police helicopter team.

They were part of a family of five on holiday with the mother and another child currently in a critical condition in hospital.

The fifth member of the same family, a 15-year-old girl, was treated for shock and is reportedly in an ‘extremely distressed’ state

New South Wales premier Dominic Perrottet said the ‘tragic’ incident will he investigated to find out if it was right to keep the walking trail open after recent heavy rain.

“These tragedies occur too often so anything we can do to keep people safe, we will,” Perrottet told the ABC.

“Obviously, the Blue Mountains is a place where people love to go trekking. It’s one of the wonders of the world but when tragedies occur it would be remiss of any government not to act.”

The New South Wales Department of Environment and Heritage said the Wentworth Falls area is closed until further notice while a ‘comprehensive review’ is carried out.
