Hiking poles and rubbish believed to belong to missing Melbourne bushwalker Hadi Nazari were discovered on Tuesday, as the search to find him enters its seventh day.Nazari, who is 23 and lives in the outer south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Berwick, was last seen by two friends at about 2.30pm on Boxing Day as they descended the Hannels Spur Trail in Kosciuszko National Park, at the tail end of a multi-day trek near Australia’s highest mountain.
The hiker’s companions say they had arranged to meet at the Geehi campground, but Nazari failed to arrive. Emergency services began searching for Nazari – who is an experienced hiker – the evening of December 26, and said on Tuesday there were concerns for his welfare. On December 27, a multi-agency search commenced involving police, SES, ambulance and national park officials. On Monday, specialised volunteers were flown into the area. On Tuesday, NSW Police’s Jillian Gibson said Nazari’s prior experience as a hiker gave rescuers hope that he would be found safely, despite the remoteness of the track. “It’s not just like going for a walk up a hill, it is dense bushland with high altitude, and scaling it is very difficult,” said Gibson.Nazari’s sister, Zahra Nazari, told Nine that her brother texted her on Christmas Day to say he would return by Boxing Day. She described his absence as the “biggest trauma” of her life.“They were supposed to come back Thursday … so he didn’t have a lot of food in his bag, just bottle of water.” Nazari is described as Asian in appearance, with a slim build and about 172cm tall. He was wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt, grey pants and carrying a blue backpack when he went missing
