An 18-year-old hiker, Lily Hooper, died during a solo trek in Nattai National Park, leaving her family heartbroken but proud of her fearless spirit. Her father, Jim, shared memories of her adventurous soul and her recent triumph on Mount Kosciuszko, which made her family initially confident in her abilities. When she didn’t return, an eight-day search unfolded amid crushing uncertainty and anxiety. Though devastated, the family honors her legacy as a bold young woman who inspired others — especially young women — and has requested the NSW flag be flown at half-mast in her honor. They’re awaiting the coroner’s findings while planning a vibrant, celebratory send-off, acknowledging that while Lily dreamed of stardom, she already lived a life that shone brightly.
