Amazing efforts by all those involved. That video draws it nicely together. She's found, Facebook group closed, RIP Celine.

Beautiful video to end the search on. I shed a few tears when Rob and his dad went to place the wreath.

Doubt the results of the phone analysis will make it out into the public at this point. I was expecting there to be confirmation on a few details, such as photos taken at Magnet Dam. What exactly happened after she was at the Shelter, will remain not entirely clear, unfortunately.

What a harsh fate she suffered; losing her phone, passing over the water race just at a point where it's unrecognizable, being almost within earshot of the falls just turning the wrong direction, all alone and miserable.

Good on the Aussies; they came through for her. Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone. Rust zacht, Céline.

Celine Cremer's sister says family 'finally have answers' as police 'provisionally' identify remains​

The family of Celine Cremer say she will "be able to rest in peace", following confirmation from Tasmania Police that human remains found in the Arthur River had been "provisionally identified" as those of the Belgian backpacker.

Tasmania Police Commander Nathan Johnston said expert reports had "provided compelling evidence" that remains recently discovered in the area were likely to be those of Ms Cremer.

He said the provisional identification had been made with the permission of her family.

"While this … will not ease their loss, we hope the outcome will provide them with some measure of clarity and closure," he said.

On social media, Ms Cremer's sister, Amelie Cremer, said the news brought the family "immense relief".

"After almost three years of endless waiting, we finally have answers," she posted to Facebook.

"DNA tests and dental expertise confirmed that everything matched Celine. These words are hard to write … but they also bring us immense relief.

After all this time, Celine can finally go home. She will be able to rest in peace, surrounded by love that never left her side.

"Celine, we never forgot you. Not one day, not one second.

"Your absence has left a huge void, but your smile, your energy and all the love you gave us live on within us.

"Today we bring you near us."

She thanked everyone who had been involved in the search for her sister, and said she will soon provide an update about Ms Cremer's funeral.

Hi-tech!

My remaining question would be whether anyone has been able to get photos off Celine's phone, that might explain more about her hike, especially did she take photos of the Falls... Though that just now brought back memories of the madness of the lost Dutch girls in Panama case, so maybe just keep it private.

I'm so glad that Celine's case was treated with such realism and dignity about her fate.
