The team returned to the property on Wednesday, believing Ms Ebert had been murdered and her body dumped down a shaft on the massive 410 square kilometre property.

Police say they always expected the search would be tough going and that the search team are still confident of finding Ms Ebert.

The search will continue on Friday with extra resources including mounted police.
