Two Western Australian brothers went missing during a surfing trip to Mexico, sparking a desperate search.
Jake and Callum Robinson are believed to have disappeared in the Baja California region, near Ensenada, on Mexico’s northwest coast.
After regularly sharing posts on social media about the first two days of their trip, they have not made any contact for four days.
According to local Mexican media, a special operations group has been dispatched to join police in their search for the missing brothers.
Jake Robinson, a doctor, was visiting his lacrosse playing brother based in San Diego in the United States and the surf enthusiasts had made the trip to Mexico with another friend.
The brothers’ family is reportedly trying to organize a trip to the area to search for them.

The two men are believed to have disappeared from the Baja California region, near Esenada.
Local newspaper En Contraste reported that authorities had tracked the phone of one of the brothers.
A woman was found in possession of the phone and methamphetamine in the Maeadero area, south of Ensenada, and was taken into custody.
The couple’s mother, Debra Robinson, appealed for help on social media.
“I reach out to everyone who has seen my two sons,” she wrote.
“They have not contacted us since Saturday April 27. They are traveling with another American citizen friend.
“They were supposed to book an Airbnb in Rosarito after their camping weekend, but they didn’t show up.
“Callum is a type 1 diabetic, so there is also a medical problem.”
The third man in their group, Jack Carter Rhoad, is also missing.

Jake was visiting Callum, a San Diego-based lacrosse player, when they took a trip to Mexico with a friend.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has confirmed it is assisting the family after two Australians were reported missing.
WA Premier Roger Cook said it was a concerning situation.
“This must obviously be very worrying for the family concerned,” he said.
“When we send our young men and women overseas to enjoy adventure holidays, they carry an element of risk and it is very distressing indeed,” he said.
“I understand that one of the people has a health condition that would require ongoing care.
“So I share the concerns of all Western Australians in terms of wellbeing.”
