Police are appealing for sightings of a 67-year-old Australian tourist who has been reported missing from the Tongariro area.
In a statement, police said Elizabeth Wielga, 67, had been visiting New Zealand from Australia and had not returned when she was due to.
She is believed to have checked out of accommodation in Tongariro on August 30, and was due to fly out of Auckland later that day.
“While our inquiries are in their early stages, at this point police have not been able to establish Weilga’s movements after she left her accommodation.”
“Her family is concerned for her welfare,” a police spokesperson said.
Anyone who had seen Wielga, or had information that may help locate her was urged to contact police on 105 and quote file number 200905/7641.
