Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen missing mother and daughter Carolyn and Rachel Lloyd.
The mother and daughter lost for four days in the Central North Island bush have been found safe.

Americans Carolyn and Rachel Lloyd began walking Kapakapanui Track, in the Tararua Forest Park near Waikanae on Tuesday.

A search and rescue operation began yesterday after their vehicle was discovered at the entrance to the track.

Sergeant Anthony Harmer said the pair were safe, and were being helicoptered out of the bush. They would receive medical checks to ensure they were okay.

"Rachel is suffering from dehydration and lack of food.

"They are both very tired and are being taken to receive a medical check-up.''

"It is not clear exactly what has happened to them, but it appears that they have become disorientated and unable to find their way out.

"This is a great result for the team and we are grateful for the support of the local community and volunteers who came from Manawatu, Wairarapa, Horowhenua and Wellington to assist in the search''.
