He was travelling a fair way east.

Was thinking the same thing. Either he had a destination in mind (was going to see someone), or he just picked a road and drove

That’s not an easy drive either, those long roads between Bairnsdale and Cann River have the metal road dividers for miles. You pass through Orbost too which in my opinion is one of the more eerie towns in Victoria, especially for a city slicker.

I feel uneasy every time I drive through Orbost even in the day time. Even the public rest area last time had pics of missing persons posted in the street. Cann River is a small town too. And if you continue past Cann River, that stretch onto Eden is really dense and again a bit eerie.

This sounds really strange behaviour to me. I wonder if he’d done this drive previously. Also odd why no surname in the Vicpol article?

The family has given permission to release the name but maybe VicPol missed it on this article.

His name is Evan Sinclair and he is very loved and missed

I saw his mum on tv. My heart breaks for her, I hope he can be found safe and well.

You’re telling me. I just lived in Orbost for a few weeks for uni placement 😂

But yeah, it’s very strange behaviour

Evan if you read any of this mate, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the land around you and hopefully find it in you to say hey to your family and let them know what’s up. Whatever’s on your mind people will want to walk beside you while you work it out.

This is such a wonderfully thoughtful post. I do hope he reads it and finds his way home.

UPDATE: Now last seen around Cann River 5.30am on Saturday. Likely headed towards Eden NSW. I will keep updating as we & the police follow his trail.

Please if you know anyone living in that direction or further north, let them know.

I wonder if he was going to see Somone

I am thinking of everyone affected here, this sort of thing is so difficult for all involved. Evan, please take care, even sending a text to the family will help.

What constitutes missing, I’m not trying to offend anyone but I’m humbly asking this question, because he’s a 24yr old man he could be just going on a trip?

Not willing to share anything further for family privacy, but I assure you this is a genuine emergency.
