Fifty-year-old Julio Ascui, also known as Lester, was reported missing after failing to contact family members since his social media post on Friday. His car was located by family members at a car park on the corner of Stoney Creek Road and Rosea Track in Halls Gap at 5pm on Sunday. Police believe the car has been parked there since Friday.

Ascui is an avid hiker and rock climber and his disappearance was out of character.

[h=1]Hiker found after five days missing in dense bushland[/h]
Melbourne man Julio Ascui, who set off on a hike in Victoria’s Grampians five days ago, has been found alive.

The 50-year-old from Keilor, in Melbourne’s inner north-west, said he was feeling “really well”, but thirsty, after emerging from the bush at Halls Gap in western Victoria.
Asked what had happened, he said: “I just come to [go] trekking and, after, I’m lost for five days.”
“I [was] drinking water from this little river over there, I come every morning to fill up my bottle.”
