More photos revealed of Tom Phillips campsite

From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 10 September 2025

A rudimentary shelter with tree branches holding up a black tarpaulin, dirty plastic buckets, a Jack Daniels whisky box and an LPG bottle are in some of the images released today of what police believe to be one of the campsites used by Tom Phillips and his children in recent months. Police said the grim and dirty campsite was about 200 metres from where his remaining children were found on Monday, across the rugged terrain of Western Waikato. With all of Phillip's children safe and accounted for, a new phase of the investigation begins: the search for anyone who assisted the fugitive father and hold them to account. Lucy Xia reports.
