A search was launched on Tuesday morning with police using a sniffer dog to try and locate the grandmother. In the end she was found by SES workers just metres from her home, asleep in bushland off a walking track between Canomii Close and Talean Road, with only minor scratches on her legs.

Mrs Chasteauneuf's son-in-law Roland Mortimer said his family were 'overwhelmingly relieved' to have her home safe and sound.

"We're very, very happy.

"We went from a lot of crying to a lot of smiles.

"I was so impressed with the police and the SES, they were just so professional and focused on finding her."

Tomaree SES deputy controller Simon Whorrod said the elderly woman was a little bit disoriented but otherwise fine.

"It's a fantastic ending to find her in such a short time," he said.

"She was taken to hospital for a check up but really there were only some minor cuts and abrasions by the look of her."
