Superintendent Linda Bradbury initially said it was unclear how long the body had been there and police would try to link the body with any missing persons cases. "They were mistaken for a human originally, so they are very realistic in the term of looking like human remains ... but we have confirmed they are not." The discovery was made by two men who had pulled onto the side of the road by chance, Supt Bradbury said. "Unfortunately they were on a weekend drive as a lot of people do over the weekend and stopped for a break." Oallen in the Southern Tablelands region of NSW, is about 109km northeast of Canberra and 225km southwest of Sydney.
