Please keep an eye out for Rod in your travels, he could be anywhere in Oz at the moment if he hasn't done himself in.  Please contact police if you spot him or his vehicle;

Both Rod and his wife Robyn are friends of mine, see this link;

GOOD LUCK, '' HERES HOPING FOR A HAPPY OUTCOME,

I am a long way from WA. but being a Colarado driver I tend to notice all Colarados, I will pay particular attention to Blue ones, and have 'noted' the Reg,  '' good luck   dazren

Thanks all, your help and comments appreciated.

Rod is a volunteer fire fighter in Chidlow so would know the bush there fairly well but I would imagine his fire fighter mates would have checked that out.

Both he and his wife worked in the hospital system prior to retirement, Robyn his wife was a nurse.  She is a kidney transplant on her third transplanted kidney two previous ones failed, and has just had a major op, so you can imagine how that must be affecting her health as well.

Let's hope it all ends well for both of them.

Our Jon here met them both at a picnic at Lake Leschenaultia when he was over here but may not recall them as there were a number of people there.

Thanks Jenny & Barry, will do, hope the trip is going well,

Vic

will keep an eye open here in Mandurah.. I hope they find him.. I cant imagine what his wife is going thro............. :( 

Thanks Amanda Jane.  If anyone hears any more news on this (updates) could they post it on here please, as I don't always keep up with the media etc.

Thanks.

Yes Vic, I do remember Rod .. I hope things do turn out for the better and will keep eyes and ears open ..

Jon

Thanks John, I haven't heard anything else at this stage, hope the news is good and they find him safe and well. 

If they do they are not saying Gerty, I suppose they don't want to upset his wife or others.   Haven't heard anymore yet.  Thanks for your thoughts.

Vic. So sorry to hear of your missing friend.
I hope that he is soon found safe and well.

Thanks Pam, his poor wife must be at her wits end, she is such a lovely person.

To the best of my knowledge Rod has not been found yet so please keep your eyes open.

Here is a Facebook Link his niece has started for those interested, see;

Jon

So sad Vic, I do hope his family get some answers soon mate. x o x o

Chidlow man Rod Base and his Dark Blue Colorado Ute are still missing, if sighted in your travels please contact police urgently, see this link for details/rego etc;

" Rod left his home in Chidlow on the morning of 13 November 2011. He was driving his 2009 dark blue Holden Colorado Ute registration MDG348A. The vehicle had an alloy roo bar with spotlights and a black tonneau cover on the rear. Despite extensive inquiries neither Rod nor his vehicle has been located. There are serious concerns for his welfare."

Thanks for your comments and replies all, we are going up to his place in Chidlow tomorrow with a group from Transplant Australia to do some gardening and other chores around the place (semi rural block) for his wife Robyn. 

Hopefully that will help her out a bit.   She is not a well woman and because his whereabouts are unknown cannot sell the property until it can be sorted out, as it is too much for her to look after.

PS:  Jonathon, you may recall meeting her and Rod at the picnic at Lake Leschenaultia (Chidlow), although may be been busy serenading us with your songs   

It's good you reposted it Vic .. sad that there has been no further info uncovered .. have you been in contact with Robyn recently ?

Jon

got the number plate on my dash, will keep an eye out, hope they find him soon Vic

Thanks Jon,

She is a bonza woman and it is sad to see here having to go through this, particularly without answers of any kind.....

Time will tell eventually I hope, sooner the better for Robyn though.

I saw this link elsewhere for someone who was missing for 23 years; 

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/gabriel-nagy-comes-home-after-23-years-lost/story-e6freon6-1226442593840 

.. I met quite a few that day but really only put the name to the face after seeing the initial reports. You guys are doing a good thing for Robyn !

Jon
