American bushwalker found after spending two nights missing in national park on NSW far south coast

An American woman has been found with minor injuries after going missing in dense bushland on the New South Wales far south coast two days ago.

The 65-year-old US national was last seen about 3pm Saturday, on a bushwalk in the Deua National Park, near Moruya.

She was reported missing when she had still not returned from the walk about 9am yesterday.

Police and SES personnel launched a large-scale search, and called in a helicopter to help check the area.

A search team found the woman safe and well this morning, police said in a statement.

She will require treatment for minor injuries.
