The NT News
We are sharing this message on behalf of Melissa Henry: "Our family has had some bad news and currently my mum and dad are travelling to WA through the NT. For the past 24 hrs we have all been trying to get a message to Lyn and Russell Wegner. They currently out of range and have no phone coverage and have not picked up their radio to get messages we have left through the network. Could anyone who has contacts in the NT or truckies doing a run through the NT to WA please keep an eye out for a Toyota Landcruiser, dark red ute towing a
camp trailer, QLD rego 760EBU. If you see them can you please ask them to urgently call
home as soon as possible. Thank you all for your help. PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHER TRAVELLERS..."

Has this been sent through to the local cops in likely towns too? My parents were tracked down once this way on the highway "somewhere south of Goondiwindi" (when they were waved over by the cops and mum knew she wasn't speeding, she knew what was wrong...)
Police in outback
places have amazing ways of tracking people...
Good luck.

Hi Robyn. Just trying to help these people who posted the message on Facebook. I thought our Explore Oz fraternity would stand a good chance of helping. I will suggest the local cops too, thanks.

Good luck with the search Glenys and Ken, I hope they are located soon, it must be terrible for the family not being able to contact the family at such a time.....
Cheers

Lyn and Russell have been advised (23/07) re the above via a VKS-737
HF radio sked - they are members.

Yep, wouldn't go anywhere without the comfort of knowing that contact is only a call away via VKS.
cheers

Great news Darian. Thanks for your help. Looks like we will have to look into the VKS737.
