Areas of Solitude for Missing People: With Hope in Our Hearts

There is often little outward sign that someone is missing: a poster on a billboard with a photo of a missing person, an article in a newspaper with a photo of the anguished family and friends. However the trauma for families and friends and the missing people themselves is very real. Areas of solitude have been unveiled across Australia as a sign to the community that missing people are not forgotten nor are the families who are missing them.
