Got a bad feeling about this

Has anyone ever visited or worked etc in Paynes Finds in Australia. I would love to hear from anyone who has been there. I'm especially interested in information on the Roadhouse Tavern. I'm a very concerned mum and something feels very wrong.

No experience with that OP. Can I ask why you're so worried?

ManateeFair · 19/01/2024 13:30

Just Googled it and it seems to be a tiny settlement near Perth with a motel and a petrol station. I think it’s fairly unlikely you’re going to find anyone who has been there and knows all about it. What, exactly, is your concern?

ApolloandDaphne · 19/01/2024 13:34

I think we need more information on what you are worried about.

Louise303 · 19/01/2024 13:41

Is your worry about the man that went missing there?

maybe change the title to anyone currently live in or has worked in Perth Aus - worries or something like that?? Can you share what it is?

The missing man was found (deceased) and it was reported as non-suspicious by police. I just googled.

whereaw · 19/01/2024 13:50

So I don't think that needs to add to any worries you have, looks to be suicide.

My daughter is there. I can't make contact. Just call it mum's intuition that things don't feel right or safe for her.

When was your last contact? Have you contacted police for a welfare check

FamBae · 19/01/2024 13:58

Have you tried contacting the Roadhouse Tavern directly, they have an email address on their website. a telephone number and they're on Instagram.

What have you tried so far to make contact? Place of work, accommodation, local police department? I wouldn't let my intuition kick in until I exhausted all contact options. Otherwise it may just be as simple as her dropping her phone in a loo...

The Roadhouse Tavern has a website, a phone number, email address etc. Is your daughter working there or staying there. You could contact them and ask for her.

How long have you been trying to get hold of her? And why do you think it 'doesn't feel right or safe'. Other than the fact that she hasn't called you, what indications are there that the place isn't 'right or safe'?

How long have you been out of contact and is this normal for her?

LakeTiticaca · 19/01/2024 14:32

I would ring them
Hope your daughter is OK xx

Bobbotgegrinch · 19/01/2024 14:32

I've never been to the tavern but have spent time in that area. If you're trying to contact her by mobile it's highly unlikely there's any signal, and internet can be very spotty. The cattle station that I stayed at was using satellite internet last time I spoke to them. Very slow and unreliable.

Singleandproud · 19/01/2024 14:34

@Seeleyboo I recognize you from other threads you had a difficult upbringing, didn't want her to go and have anxiety are you sure this isn't causing your feeling of doom? What practical action have you taken and why do you feel she isn't safe? I'd understand if she said she was hiking to a remote area with a new man she's just met but if she's just going about her business as far as you know with nothing to flag an issue it's likely she's just having phone issues.
How long has she been out of contact?
How do you communicate - if she lost her phone would she be able to contact you using a different method?
Have you contacted the Tavern?
Have you asked the local police to do a welfare check if she has been out of contact for a prolonged length of time

ChickpeaPie · 19/01/2024 14:43

I’d advise starting a new thread with a title that will actually attract people who might know the placement

Handsnotwands · 19/01/2024 16:09

Reddit would be a better place for this, there'll be a perth subreddit and probs specific backpackers in australia ones
