South Australian couple missing in Tasmania
A search is underway for an elderly couple from South Australia missing in Tasmania.
A police search is currently underway in north-west Tasmania for a South Australian couple, Clementina, 81, and her 79-year-old partner Peter, who are missing after a day of sightseeing. The pair was last seen at 2:30pm on Tuesday in Milabena, 44 kilometres west of Burnie. Tasmania Police have deployed search and rescue teams to the area, but bad weather conditions have hindered the use of the police helicopter.
The couple is believed to be in their silver Honda CR-V, registered S744ACB, and may be travelling towards the Penguin, Gawler, and Gunns Plains area. Clementina is described as a 149 cm tall woman with a solid build, wearing a green sherpa-lined hoodie, blue or black pants, and black lace-up shoes. Peter, 170 cm tall, has grey hair, glasses, no facial hair, and was last seen in navy blue hoodie, track pants, and New Balance sneakers.
The public is urged to contact Tasmania Police on 131 444 if they have any information or sightings related to the missing couple.
