  Weston could not be found.jpg - Weston could not be found. Eugene von Guérard’s 1862 trip to Mt Townsend nearly ended in disaster. Retreating back to camp from the summit as a storm hit, the party (led by Georg von Neumayer), first lost Neumayer’s assistant Edward Brinkmann, along with Hector the dog, then Weston (guide No.1) and John Twynam (guide No.2). Hector found his own way back, Twynam was found in a hypothermic state and carried back to camp, and Weston returned about midnight, having seen light from their campfire. Brinkmann was eventually reunited with the group at Wodonga, more than two weeks (and 300 miles) later, after finding his way there via the Kiandra goldfield.
