Police have announced they are suspending the search for Celine Cremer in the Tasmanian wilderness, saying due to the treacherous conditions and remote location, the missing Belgian backpacker could not have survived.
Cremer was believed to have left her car and gone on a day walk at Philosopher Falls on the islands’s north-west around June 20, the last time her phone had signal. Her SUV was found unattended on 27 June, and she was last seen on 17 June in the nearby town of Waratah.
