One local, Eric Lewis, who owns land near the scene told the publication he was ‘flabbergasted’ by the horrific discovery.

He said he made his way to the scene after hearing something on the ‘bush telegraph’ but that police would not tell him anything.

‘What is happening here in Buckley, I just can’t believe it,’ he said.

Another resident said the find was ‘disturbing’ and would prove shocking to the close knit local community.

More to come.
