The desperate family of missing man Nick Veljanovski has taken the unusual step of offering a $50,000 reward, to be funded by savings and a mortgage on their Bankstown home, for credible information that helps them find their son.
About 4pm on June 11 last year, then 28-year-old Nick (Nikolce) Veljanovski told his girlfriend of more than nine years he would see her soon. That was the last time anyone heard from him. During that conversation, the family believes other people were nearby who may have information.
His mobile phone, keys and wallet have not been found. The car he was driving a blue Honda Jazz was found very early the next morning at a parking lot on Beachcomber Avenue near the start of the Jibbon Point Trail, a popular walking track in the Royal National Park near Bundeena.

On the day Nick went missing, it is believed he was quarrelling with his girlfriend whose home he had visited at 9am that day in Yagoona. But the dispute was not described as serious. It was later revealed that he had also called in sick to his work.
He was sighted on walking tracks between 12pm and 3pm that day. Around 3pm, he asked the ranger on the Jibbon Track for directions to the coastal cliff walk. His mother said the ranger later reported that Nick wasn't prepared for a bushwalk, he didn't have a water bottle, but he hadn't appeared distressed.

Nick is 180 centimetres tall with red hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a grey hooded jumper with a black vest, navy tracksuit pants and white sneakers. His girlfriend did not want to provide a comment.
