Police seek public assistance as search goes into second day to locate hiker Christopher Moore on NSW's South Coast
New South Wales Police have issued a plea for public assistance to obtain information about the location of a missing hiker, as search efforts continue into second day. Christopher Moore, 38, was dropped off on a camping trip on New South Wales' South Coast at about 10.30am on Wednesday. He was due to be picked up on Twelve Mile Road, Jerrawangala, about 32km south of Nowra, on Friday, but did not arrive. Police in the area were notified of his disappearance, with inquiries commencing into his whereabouts. A search for the missing hiker begun on Saturday at 8am and continued throughout Sunday. His family and police hold concerns for Mr Moore's welfare. The 38-year-old is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 180cm tall with a thin build, has short light brown hair, a beard and a moustache. He was last seen wearing khaki and black pants and a khaki-coloured hooded jumper. The NSW Police Rescue Squad along with local officers, Polair, the SES, and the state's Rural Fire Service have ramped up their search in the Jerrawangala National Park and bushland near Wandandian. Chief Inspector David Cockram told the ABC the search effort is covering difficult terrain in the bid to find Mr Moore, who is an "experienced" hiker. "You'd have to have some sort of experience, good provisions and good equipment to try and navigate through that area, particularly as a solo person," Chief Inspector Cockram said. "I think (Mr Moore) had intentions to go off track as well, which provides some further complications for us. "We've already had a couple of our colleagues succumb to some minor injuries just trying to traverse that ground through there." Chief Inspector Cockram said authorities will have additional resources to continue to search for Mr Moore come Monday. The public is urged to contact Nowra Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Fiorini in the clear for collision with Demons defender
Gold Coast's Brayden Fiorini has been cleared of any wrongdoing for the incident that concussed Melbourne's Harrison Petty, but the AFL will be splashing in the cash after 22 fines were handed out across two games. Fiorini clashed with Petty as the pair contested a loose ball, with both players putting their head over the ball. "It was the view of the MRO that Fiorini genuinely contests the ball and it was reasonable for him to contest in that way. No further action was taken," the MRO said in a statement. Melbourne defender Steven May escaped sanction for his high hit on Suns forward Ben Ainsworth, but 12 players were fined for the ensuing melee. Demons star Kysaiah Pickett was fined for striking Noah Anderson. Seven players were also fined from the North Melbourne-Hawthorn clash for a range of offences, Gold Coast's Brayden Fiorini has been cleared of any wrongdoing for the incident that concussed Melbourne's Harrison Petty, but the AFL will be splashing in the cash after 22 fines were handed out across two games.
