## Resource

The search for missing kayaker Shane Wilson has ended tragically after a week-long, multi-agency effort along the Goulburn River. Last seen overturning his kayak on July 18, Wilson, a 53-year-old strong swimmer who wasn’t wearing a life jacket, remains missing despite extensive efforts by police, CFA, and SES. His sister called the outcome heartbreaking, recalling him not just as a brother but her best friend — and now, the family faces the devastating reality of his disappearance, with authorities open to re-examining the area if new leads emerge.
