A chopper detects a missing family’s automobile in NSW’s outback

A family of four, including two little children, was discovered safe, and their layover at Packsaddle was scheduled to be part of their route to Adelaide. They went missing while on a road trip in rural NSW, causing a wave of relief.

Their four-wheel-drive vehicle was found by helicopter on Tuesday, after a multi-agency search after the Queensland family failed to arrive at their destination, the tiny village of Packsaddle in New South Wales, the day before.

Darian Aspinall, 27, left the Noccundra Hotel on Warry Gate Road in South West Queensland with her two children, Winter Bellamy, two, and Koda Bellamy, four, and their grandmother, 50-year-old Leah Gooding, between 12.30pm and 3pm on Sunday.

After the family of four went missing in the desert and could not be reached, authorities initiated an inquiry.

Police from South Australia and Queensland, as well as the Australian Maritime Authority and volunteers, combed the region near Tibooburra, Broken Hill, Wilcannia, and Packsaddle.

Residents in Packsaddle, Tibooburra, Broken Hill, and nearby locations in NSW’s far west region received a geo-targeted SMS message as well.

A helicopter saw the family’s charcoal-colored Hyundai Tucson at 4.15pm on Tuesday, 50 kilometers southeast of Tibooburra off the main route.

All four family members were safe and sound inside the car and were evaluated by a paramedic on the aircraft before being flown to Tibooburra for further evaluation.

Those participating in the search thanked the public for their assistance.
