On the 29th of August 2016, Mark and Jacoba Tromp, and their 3 adult children, left their red currant farm in Melbourne's outer suburbs for an "off-the-grid" roadtrip. Far from home, the family became separated, and they were unable to be located as their behaviour became increasingly erratic and disoriented. Police located the missing family members 6 days later, and over 400km apart, but none were able to offer any insight as to the motives for their impulse getaway.
