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

I really feel for this family.

The case this reminds me of is Daniel R. (Buckeye, Arizona). When you know the person is sadly lost out in the desert, but there are possible mines and unknown hazards, and they just aren't found for some reason. And people insist on creating alternative scenarios. While the family just needs help searching the endless desert for their loved-one. IMO.

Has the family said how long he had been playing in the sand pit before he was noticed not there? I know the grandmother saw him about a half hour before she couldn't find him, but I wondered how long he had been playing there before that (and actually wondered what he was doing before that too, but I know it's not my place to demand this info, esp. when it may be totally irrelevant to the only thing that matters, which is finding him.)

I wonder if Gus had siblings or if any other children were living at the station? And was he playing alone when he was last seen?
