INCREDIBLY, a hiker missing in the Kosciuszko National Park for nearly two weeks has been found.

The 23-year-old man was last seen by two friends at about 2.30pm on Boxing Day, descending the Hannels Spur Trail, Geehi, between Khancoban and Thredbo, in the Kosciuszko National Park.

The three men were expected to meet up at the Geehi campground; however, when he failed to arrive, the two friends, aged 23 and 24, began to search for him.

Riverina Police District Inspector Josh Broadfoot thanked emergency services for their contributions over the past fortnight.

“This is an incredible outcome,” Mr Broadfoot said.

“After 13 long days, he has been located. We want to thank our emergency services partner agencies, volunteers and members of the public for their assistance.

“We never gave up hope of finding him, and we are elated we can return him safely to his family,” he said.

A multi-agency search has located a man missing in the Kosciuszko National Park for nearly two weeks.

Officers attached to the Riverina Police District commenced patrols by vehicle and on foot, assisted by the SES.

On Friday, December 27, a command post was established, and a multi-agency search commenced involving Goulburn Police Rescue, officers attached to Riverina Police District, assisted by National Parks and Wildlife Service, SES, RFS, NSW Ambulance, VRA and PolAir.

Late on new year’s eve, rubbish and hiking poles, believed to belong to the man, were found near the Kosciuszko River, which remained the focus area of the search.

On Sunday, January 5, a campfire, lighter, camera and camera bag were located near the Geehi River.

Following a 13-day multi-agency search involving more than 300 people, at about 3.15pm on Wednesday, the 23-year-old man was located by hikers off the circuit walk near Blue Lake.

He was winched from the location to the command post, and assessed by paramedics.

NSW Police would like to thank emergency services and the media for their assistance during the search efforts.
