Police horses and water operations join 'extensive' search for missing 4yo​

Police horses and water operations have joined an "extensive" search for a four-year-old boy who has been missing from a family homestead in South Australia's mid-north since Saturday evening.

The boy, Gus, was last seen at his home about 40 kilometres south of Yunta, which is about 200km east of Port Augusta, at around 5pm on Saturday.

SA Police say the boy is Caucasian with long blond curly hair, and he was wearing a grey sun hat, a cobalt blue long-sleeve T-shirt with a yellow Minion picture on the front, light grey pants and boots.

Yorke Mid North Superintendent Mark Syrus said Gus has been playing outside in the sand before he vanished.

"About 5 o’clock on Saturday night Gus was just playing outside in the sand like he normally does, his grandmother went out to find him and couldn’t find him so they looked around the area until they actually called emergency services," he said.

“We anticipate that he’s wandered off, and that’s where we are concentrating our search efforts.

“We understand he’s a pretty quiet sort of lad, but he is a country lad and he’s pretty adventurous as well."

No further news on this lost boy? Was he living with the grandmother? Parents too? Interesting that the family chose not to release an image of him. I wonder if there's a custody battle going on, or something? How big is the homestead, and how far from a road? I hope he's found safe and well soon. I know of a recent similar story, except the missing person was quite elderly, and they were found safe and well after a few days in a very remote area. I hope the same for this little boy.
