A crazy discovery has captured the attention of Tasmanians after a teenager from Victoria stumbled upon a USB stick containing captivating photos of a young hiker on various mountaintops around Tasmania from some time ago.
The USB, which Mawson Sunderland found in the pocket of a shirt he purchased from the Rag Mans op shop in Kilsyth, Victoria, includes pictures of the hiker scaling kunanyi/Mt Wellington and the Western Arthur ranges, as well as photos of the same hiker now old and revisiting the same locations.
The images have caused a stir on social media, with Mawson taking to TikTok to try and identify the hiker, in a video that has already been viewed over 300,000 times in just 15 hours.
The video has sparked a wave of interest from people in Tasmania and across Australia, who are keen to uncover the identity of the hiker and the story behind the captivating images.

Mawson tells Pulse he hasn’t had any luck tracking down the man yet, but says there are a ‘couple of comments’ that say they might know who he is which he is trying to follow up.
