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

I wonder if Shannon was the only adult at the station that evening, and the other two adults were ten kilometers away tending sheep, would they likely have had some means of communication between them? maybe 2-way radio or something like that? Would Shannon have been the only one searching for Gus for some period of time (while also still needing to watch the baby) until the others returned?

I don't know. I really would love a timeline of who was where when.

Assuming that they were engaged in some type of relatively routine chore, they might have returned at the dinner hour, which would have brought them back around the time that Gus was discovered missing. But they must have some way for them to communicate between the homestead and the wider station, as needed.

No, there's 6 gates you need to go through to get to the homestead.

Unless the gates were locked someone could still possibly drive through.
I wonder if there are any phone towers in the area to detect a ping.

Maybe a 2 way radio? Did I see a telecommunications tower on the property? Can anyone confirm that?
