Since then, her family and friends have been unable to contact her, which Police say is highly out of character for her.

Shyanne-Lee is 160 centimetres tall, with blonde hair and a slim build.

She was last seen wearing a cream hooded jumper with black writing on the front and shoulder.

According to Sergeant Hamish Woodgate, who is leading the investigation, Shyanne-Lee’s family is extremely worried about her welfare.

“Any information as far as anyone who’s seen her in a particular location at a particular time, whether or not she was seen in the company of anyone else,” said Sergeant Woodgate.

“Any information along those lines would be of great assistance.”

The staff where she was staying raised the alarm after noticing her disappearance.

Police are also appealing for dash-cam footage from vehicles in the area at the time.
