Her death followed a \u201cconfluence of errors\u201d that began when she took a walking track towards Magnet Dam after visiting the Philosopher Falls lookout.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe track to Magnet Dam was not well defined and she wandered off track and became lost,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe deviation from the track occurred late in the day, four days before the winter solstice, at which time the afternoon light was starting to fade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overnight temperatures in the area at the time were close to freezing and Cremer had insufficient clothing, including nothing waterproof, Wilson said.<\/p>\n
Phone reception was intermittent and she lost her mobile, which was her only form of communication, late in the afternoon on the day she set out.<\/p>\n
Her phone was found by a search party of volunteers in December 2025.<\/p>\n
Recovered data showed she took several photos and videos between 2.21pm and 2.42pm and used Google maps several times afterwards with the last input recorded at 4.18pm.<\/p>\n
It is likely Cremer got lost around 3.49pm and subsequently became disorientated without her phone and mistakenly changed direction, the coroner said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not possible to determine the route taken once Cremer lost her mobile phone, to her final resting place in the Arthur River,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
It was possible Cremer slipped and fell, or tried unsuccessfully to cross the river.<\/p>\n
Cremer had travelled to Australia in 2022 on a working holiday and was planning to return to the mainland four days after the Philosopher Falls walk.<\/p>\n
