A search is underway for a German backpacker who vanished after she was last seen travelling in Western Australia.
Caroline Wilga, 26, has not been heard from since June 29, and was reported missing to the police.
The backpacker was last seen at a convenience store in Toodyay, nearly 90km northwest of Perth, on June 28.
Police believe she last made contact with her friends as she was travelling through the Wheatbelt region of Wialki, near Beacon, about 320km to Perth’s northeast.
A WA Police spokeswoman said Ms Wilga had spent two years backpacking around Australia, mostly living in hostels and working at mine sites.
She was described as having a slim build; frizzy-curly, dark blonde hair; brown eyes; and several tattoos.
Ms Wilga is believed to be travelling in a black and silver, 1995 Mitsubishi Station with the licence plate, ‘1HDS330’.
‘Anyone with any information in relation to the whereabouts of Carolina Wilga is urged to contact police immediately,’ a spokeswoman said.
More to come.
