BY JESSICA ROUSE

Queensland Police are still hopeful they will find a Newcastle man who has been missing since New Year's Eve.

22-year-old Jayden Penno-Tompsett from Birmingham Gardens was reported missing from the Charters Towers area in Queensland, about 130km out of Townsville on January 3, and was last seen at a service station on Thompson Street on December 31.

Jayden was reportedly traveling with friends to Cairns to celebrate the New Year when he left the group.

Police and family hold concerns for his welfare as he hasn't made contact with anyone which is very out of his character.

The 22-year-old is described as Caucasian in appearance, 175cm tall with mousey brown hair. he was last seen wearing a black singlet, navy blue board shorts, a black cap and red thongs.

Anyone who does see Jayden or has any information about his whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
