Police will today expand their search for a teenager who disappeared in dense bush on Friday.
William, 17, disappeared after embarking on a camping trip with his step-brother at Walhalla East.
Police will search a broader area of bush and use divers to search local rivers.
Police have widened the search for a 17-year-old boy who disappeared in dense bush in Victoria's east on Friday.
William was camping with his step-brother near Walhalla East, in Gippsland, when he disappeared on Friday, November 6.
Police divers will today search nearby rivers as the search enters its fifth day.
He was last seen about 4pm near Stoney Creek Road, near the town of Cowwarr, after walking a short distance from their drop-off location to collect additional camping equipment.
He failed to return, prompting his step-brother to search the area, but there was no sign of him.
Police Acting Inspector Jason Benbow said search crews had already covered a large area of bushland and would extend the search perimeter today.
"We've had a look at the mapping of where we've searched. It's amazing how much ground that we've covered," he said.
"So today, we're going to look a bit further out."
Police divers are searching rivers as part of Wednesday's operation, alongside a helicopter, off-road motorbikes and specialist Search and Rescue personnel.
