I have been following the story of Jamie Neal for the last seven days and am hoping that this story has a happy outcome, Jamie is a 19 year old backpacker on his first trip abroad, he is a nature lover who had been exploring Sydney’s blue mountain range. Last Friday morning he set of for what locals describe as a fairly easy walk in an area called the ruined castle at mount solitary. He left personal belongings including his mobile phone back at the hostel, CCTV shows him leaving with a backpack and a map in his hand. Jamie has not been seen since. Scores of police and rescue workers are searching for Jamie but they are being hindered by heavy rain and thick fog, they hope to resume searching the hundreds of miles of rough terrain Saturday morning. Jamie’s dad has flown out and will be joining search teams trying to find his son. This story holds a personal interest for me as I have a daughter currently in Australia enjoying the same adventures as young Jamie and I worry about her constantly, I can’t begin to imagine how his family feel. But I will be praying that he is found safe and sound.
