Parks and Wildlife Service rangers, with the support of a Tasmania Police drone, are continuing to search at Cradle Mountain for a 52-year-old Victorian man.
There are concerns for the welfare of Christopher Michael Inwood, whose white Toyota HiAce van (VIC Rego 1TZ8PQ) was located in the car park of a ranger station on Cradle Mountain Road about 7.30am on Tuesday.
A backpack, believed to belong to Mr Inwood, was located about 500m along the Cradle Mountain Road leading from the car park, in the direction of Dove Lake.
Initial inquiries established Mr Inwood's last confirmed location as Kelso, in the state's north, on Sunday night.
However, further investigation has identified a possible sighting of Mr Inwood and his vehicle in the Kindred area, about 8:30pm on Monday. It is believed he may have travelled to Cradle Mountain later that night.
Police have released a CCTV image of Mr Inwood, captured over the weekend, to assist in identifying him.
The search operation is being coordinated by Tasmania Police Search and Rescue however, specialist search officers have not yet been deployed.
As of 3pm today, weather conditions in the area remain relatively clear, with a temperature of about 3°C.
Anyone who has seen Mr Inwood, knows of his movements, or has any information that may assist the search, is urged to contact Tasmania Police on 131 444.
