Renewed hope in search for Vic boy

There has been a sighting of a boy fitting the description of 11-year-old Luke Shambrook, who wandered off in a Victorian national park three days ago.

There are renewed hopes of finding alive an autistic boy who went missing in a Victorian national park three days ago.

There has been a sighting of a boy fitting Luke Shambrook's description around four kilometres from the Candlebark Campground, where the 11-year-old was last seen early on Good Friday.

Searchers are now heading by four-wheel-drive to the area of the sighting, which is in rough terrain in Fraser National Park.

"A family that was driving in the Devils River area have told police that they saw someone matching Luke's description," a Victoria Police spokeswoman told AAP late on Sunday.

"So they have extended the search to cover that area this evening."
