Subscriber only THREE hardy Far North police officers have battled a night of blinding wind and torrential rain in their desperate bid to find two women lost in remote bushland. The 21-year-old women became separated from a male friend while bushwalking in the Lambs Head area near Davies Creek and the Kennedy Highway on Friday. They were eventually rescued after being spotted by the Rescue 510 helicopter and winched to safety on Saturday. The officers were covered in leeches by the end of their six-hour hike.
