- Joel Pringle, 40, vanished on Monday
- His loved ones and police have concerns about his welfare
A desperate search is underway to find a father-of-two who vanished in Queensland’s Whitsundays region four days ago.
Joel Pringle, 40, was last seen at an address on Waite Creek Court, Cannonvale, around 4.30pm on Monday.
His white Holden Crewman ute with a metal tray and Queensland registration 403KA2 is also missing.
A worried relative said his family, friends and police are extremely concerned for his welfare, as supporters try to launch a massive drone armada to help scour the area.
‘His phone was last detected at 6am [on Tuesday] in the Mt Julian/Conway NP [National Park] area, and road cameras show he has not left the area,’ she wrote online.

‘[It’s] a huge area, but he could be somewhere on a road in the Conway NP.
‘We have been searching there ourselves without any luck yet.’
Joel, who is a father of two young boys, celebrated his 40th birthday last week on August 14.
He is an Instagram influencer who runs a logo designing company and runs classes teaching others how to start their own businesses.
Locals are working to organise volunteers and drones to assist with the search of the National Park, which spans around 75km down the coastline.
Investigators are appealing for Joel, or anyone with further information, to contact police.
He is described as 190cm tall, Caucasian, proportionate build with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
