About 2pm yesterday (Monday 14 June 2021), a 43-year-old man and his 15-year-old stepdaughter set off for a hike along the Clover Hill Track/Cascades area within Macquarie Pass.
The pair was reported missing when they failed to return home by 6pm as planned.
Officers attached to Lake Illawarra Police District were notified and commenced a search, with assistance from
