The remains appear to have been there for a number of years and the identity of the deceased is not yet known, police said.
They added that items located near the remains indicate the person may have been bushwalking at the time of their death, but was not prepared for an overnight journey.

A backpack was also located, containing a quantity of Swiss Francs and Hong Kong Dollars with receipts showing the currency was exchanged in Zurich, Switzerland, on December 21, 2010.
Investigations are ongoing, including the possibility the deceased was reported as a missing person interstate or overseas.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
