Four-wheel drivers have inadvertently stumbled across a skeleton on an isolated track in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Queensland Police said two men discovered the remains on a remote track in the Glasshouse Mountains at about midday on Tuesday.
Police have since declared a crime scene at the bushland track with initial examinations of the remains indicating they are human.
‘They will be sent for further scientific and forensic analysis including establishing gender,’ police said in a statement on Wednesday.
