UPDATE – 7:30 PM:
Tasmania Police advise that the vehicle belonging to Victorian tourists Jaydon Le Blanc and Kerrie Mink has been located by authorities, parked at a popular walking track carpark in Southern Tasmania.
There are multiple vehicles in the carpark and many hikers in the area which has extremely poor communications.
Family members confirm the couple are very experienced and well equipped, including having an EPIRB.
Police no longer hold concerns for the couples welfare and thank the public for their assistance.
