As we're driving, I'm beginning to understand what Peter and Barry were dealing with when they came to Northcliffe on that first search.
There's a lot of thick bushland where I live, but down here, it's next level.
We get as close to the track we're looking for as the car will take us before we pull up and walk the rest of the way on foot.
It's as we're headed up that we spot a large Hessian sack.
Matt goes and looks inside, then I follow and see the decomposing remains of an animal in there.
It feels like an ominous start, and I'm feeling a bit spooked.
The actual walk along the track is easy, slightly uphill, but then it's time to do some bush bashing.
We get to the area Barry and Peter have identified.
And now we're here, I'm feeling pretty deflated.
Looking at this bush, the thickness of the ground cover, I have no idea how anyone's going to find anything.
Luckily, Matt's pretty cool headed and is already making a plan.
Matt's got some clear ideas of next steps.
Over the next few months, he'll gather information, cross-reference and pull in other expertise.
And all this will be used to lock in a solid plan of action with Barry, which makes me feel like if anyone can take this on, it's him.
The whole reason Matt travelled to Northcliffe for this visit is so he could see the area in person and get an idea of what he's dealing with.
After spending two hours pushing through the scrub with him, I have an entirely new and different appreciation for what this search will involve.
It's going to take months of planning, but it looks like it will go ahead in late September, 2026.
I'll be following the progress along the way, and I'll drop back into your podcast feeds when there's another update.
In the meantime, if you have any information that you think could help find Chantelle and Leela McDougall, Simon Cadwill, aka Gary Felton, or Tony Popich, please get in touch.
