The search continued today for an 89-year-old Glen Innes farmer who’s been missing for eight days.
George Ross’s vehicle was found 60 kilometres north west of Guyra on Friday near the entrance to the Guy Fawkes National Park, however there’s been no trace of the man.
SES, Rural Fire Service crews, ambulance personnel and local volunteers searched for Mr Ross in heavy gorge country and thick bushland today.
With the onset of cold weather, police say they have grave concerns for his safety.
Duty Officer, Dave Bramble, says reports of him are pretty fit for his age being 89 years old. Fairy fit and apparently a good bushman but he may have some confusion due to his age after suffering a mild stroke some time ago.
