Body of missing bushwalker found at Patonga

A body, believed to be that of a missing bushwalker, has been located at Patonga.

The body was found on Saturday, January 14, following a multi-agency search after a woman went missing while bushwalking between Pearl Beach and Patonga the previous day.

"Officers from Brisbane Water Police District were notified that a 78-year-old woman became lost while bushwalking on a trail just after 8pm on Friday," according to a statement from NSW Police.

Police were told the woman was visiting from the USA.

The search involved the Police Dog Unit, PolAir, Police Marine Area Command, Surf Life Saving NSW, NSW Ambulance, the Toll Ambulance Rescue Helicopter and Marine Rescue.

The search was suspended about 3am and resumed on Saturday morning along the coast line, in the bushland and from the air.

"A body, believed to be that of the missing woman, was sighted by PolAir in Patonga before being retrieved by ground crews."

The body is yet to be formally identified.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
