Mark Tromp has apologised for any hurt and concern caused by a bizarre road trip his family took from Victoria to NSW that sparked a missing persons hunt.  Mr Tromp was reported missing last week and found in Wangaratta on Saturday after he, his wife and three adult children left their Melbourne home on August 29 in bizarre circumstances and drove to NSW.  "Without reservation, I apologise for the hurt and concern caused by these events," he said in a statement on Tuesday.  The family will all be reunited soon and hopefully begin to make sense of their "ordeal", Mr Tromp said.  He asked for privacy as he and his family "recover and receive appropriate assistance, including mental health services".  Mr Tromp expressed "deep gratitude" to police and health care professionals and acknowledged "the burden" on community resources caused by last week's events.  There is still no explanation why the Tromp family abandoned their Silvan home last Monday and headed to NSW, panicked and with no apparent destination in mind.  The three adult children left their parents, Mark and Jacoba, a day later.  Mitchell, 25, went first, getting out in Bathurst, and making his way back to Victoria.  The others headed to Jenolan Caves, 150km west of Sydney, where Ella, 22, and Riana, 29, left their parents and headed to Goulburn.  There the sisters split up.  Ella went back to Melbourne to feed her horses.  Riana was found "catatonic" in the back of a ute and taken to Goulburn Hospital and police were called.  Police found the family home unlocked with phones and credit cards left behind.  On Thursday Mrs Tromp was found in Yass Hospital in an emotionally poor state. She was later moved to Goulburn Hospital, where her and Riana remained on Tuesday morning.  Mr Tromp hopes his family can soon be reunited and begin work to return to a normal life on their berry farm.  "More than anything, my family and I need time to recover," Mr Tromp's statement said.  Ella has been charged with stealing a car and possessing proceeds of crime and is due to face Ringwood Magistrates' Court next April.  Riana was also charged with stealing a car, but those charges were later dismissed under the NSW Mental Health Act.
Mark Tromp is sorry for the trouble caused by his family's mysterious road trip and has thanked police and healthcare workers for their help.
