NT Police searching for 76-year-old Victorian Dave Haywood, last seen near Tennant Creek
Concerns for the welfare of a father out on a fossicking trip in the Northern Territory have been raised by his family after he failed to contact them for days – an uncharacteristic behaviour, according to his younger daughter. Dave Haywood, 76, had not contacted his family since Friday, August 1, his youngest daughter Lisa said. 'He calls his wife pretty much every night, especially while he's travelling and he's on his own,' she said. Ms Haywood, who lives in Melbourne, said her Dad was out on a fossicking trip in the Northern Territory, and was last seen in the Tennant Creek area. He was travelling to Top Springs, Ms Haywood said, and had spent the night at Threeways Roadhouse. 'We know he left Threeways Friday morning and went south to Tennant Creek,' she said. 'And then he was saying he was headed north back north towards Elliot.' But he had not been heard from since, she said. The family had contacted police, she said, who 'pinged' her dad's phone south of Elliot. But despite his phone ringing, no one was answering, she said. 'We haven't heard nothing,' she said. Ms Haywood said her dad was driving a 2011 white Toyota HiLux, with Victorian registration 1IL 8HB. He was also towing a small trailer, she said.
