A bushwalker has located human remains near the Philosopher Falls area in Waratah on Tasmania's west coast, where tourist Celine Cremer went missing in 2023, according to Tasmania Police.

It is such a sad discovery, but atleast her family and friends can have some closure after finally finding her

Completely agree. I think it would be horrible to never know what happened and always wonder

“Mr Boys said the remains were found about two hours' walking distance from where other items were discovered in December, in an area the search party had not been through.”

Wow!

Well, I was starting to worry that that guy was starting to lose sight of Celine and creeping into doing it for himself and his own publicity.

More than happy to eat crow over that. Celine going home to her family is worth it all.

MOO

Is the mystery of missing tourist Celine Cremer at an end?

The two-and-a-half year search for a missing Belgian tourist has led to the discovery of bones, which may mean closure is not far away.

www.abc.net.au

Quote from this article, "the body parts were found about three kilometers north-east of the Philosopher Falls car park, alongside the Arthur River."

Sounds like she followed the river. Only made it about halfway to where the Magnet Rd crosses the Arthur River.

The body parts were found about three kilometres north-east of the Philosopher Falls car park, alongside the Arthur River.

"The bones that I saw were just lying on top of a pile of soil and stones," Mr Boys said.

If that is Celine, it’s weird that she went north east, especially if she was using a compass, as the carpark is south. Feels like a long walk in tough conditions and in the wrong direction. Possibly frozen, disoriented & just following the river. Wonder why Jarrod even headed that way and so far away from Rob’s search areas and where the phone was found.

If I've got this right looking on google maps just now, a point 3km NE of the car park (not the falls), by the river, is not actually that far from where Rob was searching in the last video. It's a bit further east along the river.

On the map shown at 01:55 with the three footprint images it looks to me to be somewhere around where the rightmost footprint is, or maybe a bit further east.

A compass technically points north and south everywhere, but a standard Northern Hemisphere compass (like those for Europe) won't work well in Australia because the needle's magnetic inclination (dip) is different, causing it to drag or jam; you need a specially weighted "MS" (Magnetic South) balanced compass for Australia or a "Global" compass to avoid inaccurate readings in either region (Google AI)

I was wondering if an european compass would work the same in Australia. I would have thought it was the same so maybe that what went wrong.

'Very difficult time' for family after remains found in search for Belgian tourist who went missing in 2023​

Relatives of a Belgian tourist missing for more than two years in the Tasmanian bush are going through a "very difficult time" following the discovery of human remains in the area where she disappeared.

Celine Cremer's sister Amelie called the discovery a "significant step forward in the search" but warned supporters nothing was confirmed until DNA analysis was carried out.

"We ask everyone to be respectful and patient, and to wait for the experts' conclusions before sharing any erroneous or premature information," she said, in a post on Facebook.

"We are going through this very difficult time and ask you to avoid any inappropriate curiosity.

"Official information will be released in due course."

She thanked family and friends for their support, describing it as "invaluable to us during this ordeal".
