The Grampians: Murrumbeena man, 50, Oakleigh East woman, 37, found by Victorian Police

A couple who went missing in a rugged Victorian national park have been found.

A full-scale search operation in the Grampians – three hours west of Melbourne – was launched on Monday morning after the couple failed to return on Sunday evening. They were last seen leaving a popular pub, Dunkel’s Royal Mail Hotel, on Sunday morning.

The 50-year-old man from Murrumbeena and a 37-year-old woman from Oakleigh East left Melbourne on Friday for a four-wheel drive trip, police said.

The alarm was raised by family members, who were expecting the couple to return home on Sunday evening.

It’s understood the couple became bogged in a road without phone reception.
