“Just come home.”

Police said he visited the hardware store in Yanchep about 4.45pm on Monday and a short time later was seen at a service station.
He then drove in an easterly direction towards the intersection of Indian Ocean Drive and Wanneroo Road.

His father Rick said his son was a “good bloke” and loved fishing, four-wheel driving and being in the bush.
He is described as light skinned, of slim build, 175cm tall, with short dark hair and a tattoo on his left arm.
He was last seen wearing a singlet, shorts and thongs.
Brock was last seen driving awhite Nissan Navara dual cab ute, with the registration plate 1GDR069.
