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

It has not been confirmed that the aerial drone photo of the person riding a motorbike is the tracker.

In an earlier post I observed that the motorbike is green, as is the motorbike the tracker was photographed using in news photos.

This may be a coincidence (green motorbikes are not unusual) or the tracker may have been using a bike belonging to the Murray’s or the drone photo may indeed have captured the tracker.

I think the photo was released as an example to demonstrate that the AI technology can accurately identify a human and differentiate humans from animals, living animals from carcasses etc.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

*edited for grammar.

thank you
I wish the police had explained this when they released it

Hi jepop,
I enjoy reading your posts.
In-laws in QLD have a very large property. They have a grassed section for children and grandchildren and no sandpit because snakes are attracted to sandpits. On removing a sandpit in my last property we found a nest of baby brown snakes.
In this vicinity of GL snakes are everywhere and as I have earlier stated the active months. September. Tiger snakes and copperheads are attracted to sand particularly wet sand. Did GL have a bucket and spade and perhaps a hose to cool him down?
My points are very relevant to this case given that we have only been given few areas of point of contact and where individuals are placed.

Im not sure about the snake angle. Surly being a rural property they would have a snake bite kit on hand in case of bites. Surly if the child was bitten paramedics would be notified and the child transported to hospital. Im unsure of the snake types for that area but being inland i would presume brown snakes which are aggressive and deadly. Tiger snakes are more coastal as are copperheads. Copperhead snakes are shy and generally not aggressive unless startled.

hi jepop,
Thank you for your post.
Further in the investigation in the disappearance of Gus Lamont:
This is a link of 43 brown snake eggs found in a sandpit in 7 nests
Dozens of reptile eggs found in Australian school sandpit

' "I believed they were brown snake eggs due to the fact that they were seen in the area and that when I shone a light through the egg, I saw a small striped baby snake," Mr Miller explained'

Per your link it seems this was seen as an unusual occurrence (in the state of NSW at least), additionally at the end of the day (scroll down in the report) they could not be sure they were not the eggs of a harmless reptile.

I feel like this convo is branching off into OT territory at this point, so I'm moving on. Thank you for posting that interesting link though.
