The 27-year-old was carrying various camping items, and information uncovered by police indicates he intended to travel along the popular trail.

The search for Mr Whitsed — which had been focused on the east coast — moved to WA last week following the discovery of an abandoned tent.

The green tent was found by members of the public at Canning Hut about six weeks ago, with police confirming a link between the tent and Mr Whitsed last week.

The hut is about a 12 kilometre walk from the Brookton Campsite, located slightly off Brookton Highway in the Helena National Park.

Drone footage released by police on Saturday shows officers searching dense bushland for the missing man, who is described as being approximately 170-180cm tall, of slim-medium build, with short brown hair, a beard and a moustache.

He was last seen wearing black trousers, a red t-shirt or light-coloured jumper, and slides.

Police hold serious concerns for Mr Whitsed’s welfare and urge anyone with information relating to his whereabouts to contact them on 131 444.
