Police continue to search for missing boy Gus in the mid north of the state.

Four-year-old August (Gus) was last seen at his homestead, about 40km’s south of Yunta, at 5pm on Saturday 27 September.

Having taken a look at that area on Google maps, I think we can rule out abduction by the proverbial passing maniac. This is going to be a lost-in-the-bush-probably-accidental-death scenario or the family or other connected person dunnit.

I could be wrong but Teetulpa appears to be north of Yunta.

Check out Manunda Station to the south. It's approximately 40km from Yunta, and there's what appears to be a building/property and the Old Manunda Dam 2-3km to the west of Manunda Station.

MOO.

Teetulpa was merely to give people an idea of the location. I had a look at manunda, definitely south the building doesn’t match any images of manunda.

Crews to search into the night for boy, 4, missing from remote homestead​

Crews will continue to search into the night for a four-year-old boy who went missing on his remote homestead about 235km north-east of Adelaide over the weekend.

August, or Gus, was last seen on a property in mid-north South Australia, about 40km south of Yunta, at 5pm on Saturday.

He was reportedly playing in his grandparents sandpit at this outback homestead.

I think it he isn't found, the search would be expanded.
I think that any vehicle would have likely been heard by the grandmother and or anyone else there.

It's so quiet on one of those properties that you can hear a vehicle coming for awhile before it arrives.

You’d also likely see the red dust cloud if there was a vehicle. The outback is something you have to experience to understand what it’s really like.

Could he have climbed into a vehicle/trunk on the property?
