mrmoshe Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Fishermen missing after weekend trip Two elderly men have gone missing following a weekend fishing trip. The men, aged 71 and 72, travelled to the Lake Eucumbene area in the Snowy Mountains on Saturday and were expected to return by noon (AEST) on Sunday, police say. The men had warm clothing, food, a sleeping bag and a blanket. A search has yet to begin since the men did not tell family members exactly where they were headed but Polair may conduct a general search of the area today. The men were driving a blue Suzuki Vitara with the NSW registration ATD 15N. Edited June 12, 2007 by MallacootaPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hi Pete Heard about this earlier today - not a pleasant spot to be missing in! At least they weren't in a boat. Those inland waters can be very cruel in a big wind. Hope they are found cold, but well! Cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they are found safe and well this morning. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
