A search involving a helicopter, boats and mounted police had failed to find any trace of a British man missing in the Australian state of Victoria by late on Sunday. Mr King, an illustrator from Bristol who only relocated to Australia two weeks ago, is said to have hit his head on the ground before getting up quickly and rushing into thick bushland surrounding the campsite where he and four friends had been staying. Victoria Police said officers were searching for Mr King on Sunday using a helicopter, horses, motorcycles and sniffer dogs. The Foreign Office said in a statement: "Our staff are seeking further information following the disappearance of a British man near Princeton, Australia and are in contact with the Australian police."
