SYDNEY: An “extreme terror tour” of the Australian forest where a notorious killer buried seven backpackers in the 1990s was Tuesday attacked as “horrendous” and insensitive to the families of victims.
Goulburn Ghost Tours was advertising a small number of nighttime visits to Belanglo State Forest, where Ivan Milat dumped the bodies of two Britons, three Germans and two Australians over 20 years ago.
Milat is serving consecutive life sentences for the murders of the young travelers which terrified Australia in the early 1990s. Their remains were found in Belanglo, 120 kilometers (74 miles) southwest of Sydney.
“You asked for it and we have delivered — Goulburn Ghost Tours extreme terror tour is here,” the company said on its website.
“Come with us to Belanglo where Ivan Milat buried the bodies of his victims! Once you enter Belanglo State Forest you may never come out...”
New South Wales state Premier Mike Baird said he was shocked to learn of the tours which he described as “completely and utterly outrageous.”
“It’s not only in bad taste, it’s just terrible,” he said. “Horrendous.”
Baird said the group would require a permit to operate in the state forest but would be refused permission if they applied.
New South Wales Victims of Crime Assistance League chief executive Robyn Cotterell-Jones acknowledged the fascination with the macabre.
“But from where I sit, caring for the families of people who have been harmed in all sorts of vicious and violent crimes including murder, every time something like this arises it rips the scars open again,” she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
“The idea so soon after his crimes in the Belanglo, and more recent crimes as well, of having people tramping over the sites that are still very special is very concerning to the families.”
