SYDNEY, April 15 AAP - A body has been found in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park near

fifth day of ground and air searches today.

The man was due to return home on Monday prompting his wife to report him missing on Wednesday.

He set out on a 45km trek to Katoomba last Friday, a fellow bushwalker says.
