Phillips and family likely to be 'moving quite regularly' in cold bush, says hunter

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The oldest missing Phillips child will celebrate yet another birthday on the run today, but an experienced bushman says it is likely to be a miserable day.

Jayda Phillips, who turns 12 today, has been missing along with her siblings Ember, 9, and Maverick, 10, since December 2021, when they were taken by their father Tom Phillips to an unknown location - though police believe they are still in the King Country, near where they went missing.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
