DAVID Tweddle doesn't know where his son is but he hopes he'll be having a beer with him soon.
David Tweddle and other family members have flown from the UK to join the search for Gary Tweddle, 23, who disappeared from a work conference in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney four days ago.
About two dozen friends and family gathered at the Fairmont Resort on Friday as 70 emergency service workers and rescue volunteers combed bushland around Leura.
"I am sure I will be drinking a beer with him soon," father David Tweddle wrote on Facebook before boarding a flight to Sydney.
Sister Amy Tweddle spoke of her worry and hope.
"You're a Tweddle, a survivor, our very own Gary 'Bear' Grylls. We will find you," she wrote.
Operation commander Mick Bostock told AAP the number of searchers would swell to 150 on Saturday.
"We're going to have a bigger search area and we're going to completely go over what we've done (with) fresh eyes," Detective Inspector Bostock said.
It comes as the Bureau of Meteorology warned temperatures will plunge across NSW this weekend.
The last confirmed contact with the Cremorne man was a 15-minute conversation early on Tuesday morning, when Mr Tweddle called colleagues at the resort to say he was lost in the bush but thought he could see a light up a hill.
Det Insp Bostock said Mr Tweddle was an "extremely fit" man who regularly attended boot camps and had been rock climbing in harsh Scottish and Welsh terrain with his British army officer father.
"At this stage we're still hopeful of finding Gary alive," he said.
Police believe he may have become injured, and locals are being urged to check sheds or empty properties.
"If someone heard someone cooee at one o'clock on Tuesday morning, we want to know," Det Insp Bostock said.
