A 73-year-old man who wandered off from Tobermorey Station near the Queensland border on Tuesday has been found.

Harts Range Police were alerted after the man's family raised the alarm when they failed to locate him after searching all Tuesday afternoon. The man wandered off from the station about 12:30 on Tuesday.

Harts Range police set off for Tobermorey Station in the early hours of yesterday morning along with 12 community members. The search began at first light and the man was located just after 9am yesterday approximately six kilometres from the station after Aboriginal trackers led rescuers to his location. The man was safe and well.

Police would like to thank all those who took part in the search.
