Mary Walden, aged 74, was reported missing to officers from Orana Mid Western Police District, by a neighbour who had not seen her on the Quambone property for about a week.

An area surrounding the farmhouse has been searched with no sign of the missing woman.

Ms Walden is described as being of Caucasian appearance 160cm 165cm tall, with stocky building, grey hair, and usually seen wearing jeans, boots, a long-sleeved shirt, and a green baseball cap with ‘OXLEY’ written on the front,
