"They were startled by a deer, ran into the national park, and got lost", Mick Fuller, police commissioner of the nation's most populous state, New South Wales, said, describing the incident. "Not only did they require assistance from (emergency services) and police to rescue them, they also both received a ticket".
He also noted that "it's difficult to legislate against idiots".
