Kevington search: Missing Melbourne man didn’t return to campsite after a dirt bike ride at Mount Terrible
- Serious fear for missing camper Steven
- Went for a dirt bike ride but haven’t heard anything since
A search has been launched for a missing camper who left his caravan to explore rugged bushland on his dirt bike but never returned.
Melbourne man Steven, 58, from Waterways was last seen leaving a Skipworth Reserve campsite at Kevington in Victoria’s high country about 2pm on Friday, where he had been staying in his caravan.
He had called his partner to tell him he was going for a ride on his dirt bike along nearby trails in the Mount Terrible area and promised to call when he returned to the campsite, 235km northeast of Melbourne.
Steven’s partner contacted police after he did not call her back on Friday evening and remained unreachable on Saturday morning.
