His mother, Tanya Sinnes, said it wasout of character for her son notto contactanyone this long into a trip.

"In the last eight days there has not been one vehicle sighting, one person sighting. It's like he's disappeared into thin air,"said Tanya Sinnes.

"He was buying his first house at 18, he was a quarter partner in one. He was looking forward to participating with his girlfriend at logger sports," she said.

"He was going rock climbing with his uncle on Monday. He had a lot to look forward to."
