Worst tour idea of the year

SYDNEY , 15 July 2015: 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 night time 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 travellers, which terrified Australia in the early 1990s. Their remains were found in Belanglo, 120 kilometres (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.
inside no 9“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.
Goulburn Ghost Tours could not be reached by AFP but manager Louise Edwards told the Herald that the tours were sensitive to concerns.
“We thought about it for a long time before we did it. We wanted to make sure it was sensitive. We really don’t want to upset anyone. That wasn’t our intention,” she told the paper.
