We have some wonderful news. Thanks to a great community and emergency services response, the 30-year-old woman missing from Surf Beach yesterday (the 28th of December 2024) was found today.
At about 3:10pm, the woman was found in bushland at Surf Beach, near Glen Street
The search was extensive, and utilised police from all over Bass Coast and South Gippsland, along with the assistance of specialist police such as the Police Air Wing, the Water Police Squad and the Search and Rescue Squad. The protracted search was supported by volunteer rescuers from SES Phillip Island Unit, SES San Remo Unit, and SES Wonthaggi Unit, rangers from Phillip Island Nature Parks and volunteer surf lifesaver from Woolamai Beach SLSC, with the Life Saving Victoria helicopter also in the air and searching, and a boat from Coast Guard Western Port on the water offshore.
The person was assessed by Ambulance Victoria, and should be ok.
