Callum and Jake Robinson had been travelling Mexico on a surfing trip with their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad when they failed to check in to accommodation in the city of Rosarita on the coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on April 28.
The duo, from Perth, failed to communicate with their families since the weekend, prompting Mrs Robinson to issue a desperate plea on social media for information about the trio.
That plea — and similar calls for information from family and friends around the globe — have been shared thousands of times.
A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson has confirmed the agency is assisting the family.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the family of two Australians reported missing in Mexico,” the spokesperson said.
“Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment.”
