Tributes Given To UK Family After Deaths In Australia's Blue Mountains Landslide

Tributes have been paid to a British barrister who died in a landslide while hiking in Australia's Blue Mountains with his nine-year-old son.

Mehraab Nazir, 49, died at the scene with his son. Anastasia, his wife, is still in serious condition, but their 14-year-old son is doing well after surgery.

Mr Nazir worked as a partner at a law company in Singapore, where his family had relocated more than a decade before.

He was described as a "close friend and colleague" by his firm.

Watson Farley & Williams announced that they would "remember and honor" him.

The family's 15-year-old daughter raised the alarm on Monday afternoon after the avalanche killed her father and younger brother and badly injured her mother and elder brother.

The adolescent was described as "extremely distressed" and is being monitored in a hospital.

The two bodies were discovered in the mountains near Wentworth Falls, a famous trekking spot approximately 60 miles (96 kilometers) from Sydney, at around 09:30 local time on Tuesday.

Landslides are prevalent in the Blue Mountains, according to tour guide Graham Chapman, and have been rendered more likely by recent heavy rain.

"This lovely family from England was simply in the wrong location at the wrong time," he lamented.
