During their last conversation with a friend, the couple said they had gotten lost somewhere in the Bomboota area, just north of the border.

Emergency services headed to Perricoota State Forest at 8:45pm on Saturday to attempt to locate them.

The area is remote with high tree coverage and extremely windy corners as the river slithers up along the border and into South Australia.
