Search and rescue teams have tonight found a man who got lost while trekking Mt Taranaki today.
The Australian tramper, in his early 20s, contacted authorities around 4pm after getting into some difficulty.
Just before 10.30pm, police confirmed he had been found.
A police central communications spokesman told the Herald: "The tramper has been located and he's safe and well.
"He's got a leg injury and police and [search and rescue] personnel are trying to work out whether he can come down assisted...or how they're gonna get him out."
