## Summary

A major search is under way for 17-year-old Will, who went missing on Friday after returning to collect camping equipment near Walhalla East in Victoria. Police believe he may have become disoriented in rugged bushland, and the freezing conditions make finding him urgent.

Will, who has level two autism and was on his first camping trip, was wearing shorts and work boots; overnight temperatures have fallen as low as 3C. Up to 80 emergency workers have used helicopters, boats, motorbikes, horses and teams on foot, while police say they will keep searching. An esky has been found, but other gear remains missing, and police are seeking dashcam footage or information from people who travelled nearby.
