The body of a missing Victorian hiker has been found on a popular walking track outside Alice Springs.
Alistair Thomson was walking the Larapinta Trail alone and was last heard from nearly two weeks ago on May 21 when he texted his family.
The body of the 64-year-old was found late on Sunday night, Northern Territory Police said on Monday.
No further details about his disappearance or death were revealed, with police citing family privacy reasons.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
The alarm was raised on his disappearance after the experienced hiker did not make contact to say he had arrived at Hugh Gorge as planned on May 22.
Search and rescue members, police, local volunteers and Parks and Wildlife had been out looking for Mr Thomson.
His body was found near a waterhole at Hugh Gorge, ABC Alice Springs reported.
The Larapinta Trail is a 223km that runs along the West MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia, with its eastern end at Alice Springs.
