Desperate search for experienced camper who mysteriously vanished while travelling in outback Australia
Concerns are growing for a solo camper who has been missing for 10 days in the vast and remote wilderness of central Australia.
Tyle Mali, 39, was last seen on Sunday, June 1 before he embarked on a trip into the far northern regions of South Australia.
CCTV footage captured him entering a white 2023 Toyota HiAce, which he had rented from Mile End in Adelaide 's inner west.
He was reportedly driving to Arkaroola, in the northern Flinders Ranges, around 630km, or an eight-hour drive, from Adelaide.
The rental van, with South Australian registration S129-CWL, was last spotted in the Arkaroola area just after 6am on Monday, June 2.
South Australia Police believe the vehicle was driven from Yunta to Arkaroola between May 30 and June 1.
They are appealing to anyone who may have seen the van between these two locations, particularly along the Barrier Highway, about 280km south of Arkaroola.
Authorities fear Mr Mali could be injured or stranded, with no confirmed sightings and no contact since early June.
Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott said police held 'serious concerns' for Mr Mali's safety.
He confirmed that some of the camper's belongings had been found left behind at his accommodation in Arkaroola Village.
Despite three days of intensive searching in the region, there has been no sign of him.
The area is extremely remote, conditions are hot and dry, with limited mobile phone coverage, and the GPS tracking system on the hire van is out of range.
'He may have been injured, or his vehicle may have been disabled,' Parrott said.
'Given the lack of connectivity in the area, he may not be able to contact authorities.'
Mr Mali is known to be an experienced camper.
In a separate incident in 2021, Queensland Police said that Kyle had been reported missing after failing to contact his family for over a month before he was found.
South Australian emergency services, along with PolAir crews, have been combing the vast and rugged terrain between Yunta and Arkaroola.
But so far, the search efforts have come up empty.
Anyone who has seen Kyle or the white Toyota HiAce van is urged to contact police immediately.

Morning Mail: shock over Air India crash, calls for safety changes on Sydney's light rail, WTC final on knife-edge
Good morning. More than 260 people have been killed after an Air India flight crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad. A British man in seat 11A is the only survivor from the aircraft – and has 'no idea' how he escaped. Closer to home, there's a push for improved safety measures on Sydney's light rail after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a tram in Surry Hills earlier this month. We look at this year's Dark Mofo festival in Tasmania and ask whether it has veered into a 'trauma theme park'.

Remains of couple who went missing off Cape Cod found after crews locate their missing fishing boat
The bodies of two people have been discovered aboard a sunken fishing boat off the coast of Eastham in Cape Cod, the Coast Guard said Wednesday. Captain of the F/V Seahorse, Shawn Arsenault, 64, and his girlfriend, Felicia Daley, 54, set sail out of Rock Harbor in Orleans on Sunday for a clamming trip, Arsenault's brother, Paul, told NBC10 Boston. The couple was fishing near the Target Ship Wreck off Eastham in Cape Cod Bay and a cellphone ping last located their boat about two miles off the coast of Chatham. Their boat had not returned to dock as expected by Tuesday morning, prompting a search by the Coast Guard. Paul Arsenault said the couple had only been dating a few months and were 'crazy about each other.' Officials said Shawn Arsenault was seen throwing electronic items overboard just after leaving Orleans, including a GPS that was found on the beach. Paul Arsenault told NBC10 Boston about his brother, "He was very excited about his new equipment, he installed it, left Sunday morning, and he said that he wasn't coming back till he had his 30-bag limit, and that's the last I heard of him.' Aerial video showed the sunken boat near Saints Landing in Brewster. The Coast Guard said Arsenault had been remodeling the white boat that had a mermaid on the bow and 'Seahorse' painted on the stern. 'Our hearts go out to the families of both persons onboard," Commander Cliff Graham, a search and rescue mission coordinator for the case, said in a statement. "The level of support from our maritime response partners and members from the fishing and local community was remarkable. It directly contributed to detection of the vessel and closure for the family." The Coast Guard is asking anyone with information to contact the Sector Southeastern New England command center.
