Urgent seek for German backpacker who disappeared in Western Australia

A search remains underway for a German backpacker who vanished after she was last seen travelling in Western Australia.

Carolina Wilga, 26, has not been heard from since June 29, and was reported missing to the police.

The backpacker was last seen at a convenience store in Toodyay, nearly 90km northwest of Perth, on June 28. 

Police believe she last made contact with her friends as she was travelling near Beacon in the Wheatbelt region 320km northwest of Perth. 

Ms Wilga has spent two years backpacking around Australia, living in hostels and working at mine sites. 

She is described as having a slim build; long, frizzy-curly, dark blonde hair; brown eyes; and several tattoos. 

Ms Wilga is believed to be travelling in a black and silver, 1995 Mitsubishi van with the licence plate, ‘1HDS330’.

‘Anyone with any information in relation to the whereabouts of Carolina Wilga is urged to contact police immediately,’ a police spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman said police continue to hold ‘welfare concerns’ for the 26-year-old.
