Australia AUSTRALIA - 4YO AUGUST (GUS) Missing from rural family home in Outback, Yunta, South Australia, 27th Sept 2025

[Warshawski]

You probably did see shorn sheep as this is done in spring and would bring shearer’s to the area

Agreed, that’s why I’m interested in the ‘when’.

 

[Ellery84]

Yep there is definitely several tracks that could've been taken. I'm also of the opinion now after seeking some clarification on the 6 gates that the roads aren't as quiet as we have been told.

This information came from a short conversation with journalists Jonica Bray that has obviously driven on the road in the last couple of day's as I was curious why an abduction has virtually been discarded as a possibility. She replied with the below information.


To get to the property there are possibly six gates. However they are not all closed. But you also pass other properties on the way. Some of those properties have various workers on them. Some had maybe 7 or 8 vehicles on them. I do agree though that it is unlikely. But it is not impossible. I passed around 20 vehicles each time I was on the road that were not police or search and rescue- some moving and some stationary

Did you ask her if you could publish her conversation with you on the interweb?

She sounds really scared.

Her voice is very small and childlike in comparison with Josie's booming voice.

You can call her a snake but she's a woman, she looks kind of small in her Tik Tok videos and she's a human being sent on assignment interstate to Yunta.

Presumably she's away from her own support network, and I can imagine she's feeling quite alone.

We all deserve to go to work and come home safely. I feel also for her family who may have watched the gun interaction on the tele News.

She says that she is a mum, and she feels sympathy. Her own kids must be worried about her.

Every action has a reaction. What's going to be the repercussions for this journalist in her daily life from what she's experienced at work on that day? What if she develops PTSD or an anxiety disorder from this??

And who is going to independently tell the public what's going on with this case if we don't have independent media reporting??

Shall we get all our media updates from SAPOL?

So do they now get to control the message or this story? And why?

I get it's her job, but I long for the days when there was a bit of integrity and humanity in reporting and it wasn't all about the scoop. Maybe I just have too much empathy to do a job and assignment like that.

The conversation wasn't private, it's widely available for anyone to view on her TIk Tok account

I asked the question on this video and she replied.

I never heard that before.

I think it by one of the daily mail posts articles in this thread a few pages back when someone was posting saying maybe gus followed his mom without her hearing/seeing him, when others were talking about the gates being possibly left open for their walk

No sign of missing four-year-old after police drain large dam in renewed search

Police have drained a large dam on the remote SA homestead where Gus Lamont vanished just over a month ago ...

www.9news.com.au

So many places he could be close to the homestead, that may have been missed IMO

Video in link.

I’ve read this article a couple of times over the last few days as I find a few comments from Mr Boland ( the tracker ) to be interesting, perhaps more so the things he’s careful not to say (due imo to his understanding & support of investigations)

Aboriginal tracker who searched for Gus insists police will find him

The Aboriginal tracker tasked with helping find missing South Australian boy Gus Lamont makes a surprising revelation on the one-month anniversary of the four-year-old's disappearance.

www.dailymail.co.uk

DM I know - but if comments are attributed, I think they’d be asking for trouble if not accurate. .. jmo.

In 1966, Aboriginal trackers Jimmy James and Daniel Moodoo famously rescued nine-year-old Wendy Pfeiffer in the Adelaide Hills after she had been missing for almost three days.

She had been stabbed three times and was left for dead by her attacker.

More than 150 police and volunteer searchers had failed to find her using modern methods.

-.-.-
from the source above
-.-.-
He (Mr. Boland) made the cryptic comment: 'That little boy deserves respect to go about it on all the right roads.

'Police will find him, they will. They do what they do best, I do what I do best.' He added: 'One day I will tell the story (about Gus).'

-.-.-
also from the above source

Recent report compiled by the ABC.

No sign of missing 4yo after dam drained, SA police say

Police say "nothing of significance" was found after a dam was drained on Friday in a search for missing four-year-old Gus that was undertaken "out of an abundance of caution".

Exactly.

She was there to prod and poke and she got the reaction that she and the disgusting rag she works for wanted. The ‘pity the poor ickle wickle smol bean Daily Mail journalist’ stuff is nauseating tbh.

"That little boy deserves respect to go about it on all the right roads."

What does this mean? It's quoted from this article......

Second article which contains info by ABC reporter about how deceptive the landscape is IRL. It appears flat in aerial photos but that is not necessarily the case from ground POV. Also issues with dust during second search.

My guess is that it is another way of saying:

"That little boy deserves the search and investigation to go in the proper direction".

Now presuming the DM accurately quoted him, what Mr. Boland implied by his statement? and why he felt obliged to say it? are my big questions....

I agree completely. She had fair warning and knew she would not be getting an interview as such. She and her photographer did what they expected to do to inflame this tragedy, and got called out for it by local LE. I bet they didn't expect such negative feedback locally!

I'd be interested in knowing how Shannon supposedly had the issue under control prior to Josie appearing. Had Shannon allowed the reporter to remain or had she asked her to leave? If asked to leave, why was she still there? If she was not asked to leave by Shannon, she was told to do so by Josie in no uncertain terms. If I think someone has "pulled a gun" on me and is pointing it at me, and roaring at me to "Get out", you can bet your boots I'm gettin' on the first roar ... not going to stand there and try to justify why you should let me stay. The only threat that I saw was Josie saying to the effect (paraphrased) that the police would be called.

Also, I do not see the gun being pulled on the reporter or waved or brandished at the reporter. It went from under total control pointed at the ground, and then under total control with the barrel pointed toward the sky. There's only so many ways you can carry a gun, but it was most definitely not pointed or brandished.

All MOO

ETA: Considering the DM seems to be the only pub that insists on referring to and publicizing such details of their very private life to the world, I'm not surprised that these folks aren't feeling all warm and fuzzy toward the DM much at all.

Which snake? The one on her porch or the one in her driveway?

That's what I was thinking. Also, if I was the trespassing media person, I would find the thoughts of a nearby snake a whole lot scarier than Grandma holding a gun.
