A hiker has come forward and could provide crucial clues in the search for a Belgian tourist feared dead after disappearing in northwest Tasmania.
Celine Cremer was reported missing on June 26 but was last seen more than a week earlier in the Philosopher Falls area near Cradle Mountain.
A hiker who was at the popular trail spot about 2.30pm on Sunday, June 18, came forward to police after authorities urged them to make contact.
"The hiker is not in any trouble but is helping assist police in establishing Ms Cremer’s movements prior to her going missing," Tasmania Police said in a statement on Saturday evening.
Ms Cremer’s vehicle was known to be in the track's car park since at least June 20 however, members of the public have come forward and it's possible her white Honda CRV was there days earlier.
Members of the SES searched a number of tracks using all-terrain vehicles on Saturday.
Expert medical advice provided to police indicates Ms Cremer would not have been able to survive freezing weather conditions.
