A Lithuanian tourist in his sixties who had to have his leg amputated while stuck between rocks in a remote Tasmania river remains in hospital.
The man was part of a group of 10 kayakers on the Franklin River last Saturday when he became trapped in the water after slipping.

Rescuers were forced to amputate the man’s leg to free him from the rapids after extensive efforts over 20 hours.
He was initially described as being in a critical condition but has since stabilised.
