Air wing, mounted branch, and uniform police officers joined the SES to search for him in the weeks after his disappearance.

Buses get a budget boost Continued from Page 1 The state government allocated $13.85 million in the budget to improve timetables and the frequency of bus services on the Mornington Peninsula. Services on Route 788 from Frankston to Portsea will soon run every 30 minutes on weekdays and every 40 minutes on weekends – instead of the previous 40-50 minute frequencies – to tackle overcrowding and give passengers more choice about when they travel. Mount Martha bus users will have better bus access with an extension of the Route 781 service to Dromana, while Route 887 – between Rosebud and Frankston – will be redirected along the Mornington Peninsula Freeway to reduce travel times for some passengers. Mr Carroll visited Rosebud to announce the changes alongside Nepean MP Chris Brayne last week. Mr Brayne said the state government had “listened to the community who have been calling for better bus services”. “Peninsula locals will soon be enjoying more frequent and more reliable buses on the busiest routes in the area,” he said. The MPs said the new timetables would suit those who rely on buses to get to work, school or university, as well as medical services and social events. Also, tourists will be better connected to popular attractions and to Frankston station. with Stephen Taylor
