00:00I'm here based in Yunta on the Main Street and I've seen plenty of Australian Defence

00:08Force and SES cars go up and down so they're definitely around for the resumed search.

00:14Police put out a statement yesterday saying that they would be resuming the search with

00:18Defence and with SES as well.

00:22Now Yunta is located about 350 kilometres north of Adelaide and the sheep station that

00:28Gus's family lives on is about 40 kilometres south of Yunta.

00:34The family lives on a sheep station, it's very isolated, the terrain is very shrubbery,

00:39it's very rocky, it's very undulating so police are out there again today with help from the

00:46Defence Force and SES to see if they can come up with more answers.

00:50The only clue they have thus far is the stamp of a similar looking boot to what Gus was wearing

00:58and that was in a search about a week ago where they were also using drones with infrared

01:04capability but unfortunately the only thing, the only clue they came up with was that boot

01:10stamp in the ground so they are hoping to come up with some more answers today with the resuming

01:15of the search.
