The search continues for a woman who never returned from the Pureora Forest near Lake Taupo

The 79-year-old went missing last Saturday, while with a group setting bait-lines.

She's described as being medium height, of slim build with grey hair and was last seen wearing trail type shoes, black pants, and possibly a silver jacket.

Trampers who were in the area last weekend, are being asked to contact Police on ten-five.
