**Search Continues for Missing Four-Year-Old Boy in South Australia** The search for four-year-old Gus, who went missing in South Australia, has entered its fifth day. Gus was last seen playing at his family's sheep grazing station, located about 40 kilometers south of Yunta, at 5 p.m. last Saturday. Gus is described as Caucasian, with long, curly blonde hair. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a grey sun hat, a cobalt blue t-shirt featuring a yellow Minion character, light grey long pants, and boots. Since Saturday night, police and emergency services have been conducting extensive searches in the area. Aerial searches have continued overnight, while ground searches during the day have involved the State Emergency Service, trail bikes, all-terrain vehicles, dogs, and drones. Water police and mounted units joined the search efforts yesterday, focusing on dams and tanks on the property. Gus's family expressed their devastation in a statement released yesterday. "We are devastated by the disappearance of our beloved Gus on Saturday afternoon. This has come as a shock to our family and friends, and we are struggling to comprehend what has happened," they said. "Gus's absence is felt in all of us, and we miss him more than words can express. Our hearts are aching, and we are holding onto hope that he will be found and returned to us safely." The family thanked the police and volunteers for their efforts and requested privacy as the search continues. Superintendent Mark Syrus stated that no clues have been found regarding Gus's whereabouts, but he remains hopeful. Authorities believe Gus is still on the property and have not released a photo of him, although they have shared an image of the shirt he was wearing. The search area is described as challenging. A reporter on the scene noted the vastness of the sheep station, with blue bush scattered across the red dirt landscape. The terrain is rugged and hilly, with hidden crevices and dry creek beds. Dust from high winds complicates the search efforts, as it is stirred up by those searching on motorbikes. Anyone with information about Gus's whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or online, referencing number 250513.
