ORIGINAL STORY: A DAYLESFORD family feared harmed in the massive earthquake in Nepal over the weekend has made contact with their relatives in Australia. 

Jen Comber and her daughters Neve and Rani spoke with Kate Good, Ms Comber's sister-in-law, on Monday. 

"Just spoke to Jen and the girls. They are alive and well," Ms Good said. 

"We are all so happy." 

The trekking company that organised their trip in the Tsum had earlier confirmed their location and good health, Ms Good said. 

"We have had a couple of emails from the trekking company stating they are alive and well," she said. 

The Comber family, which also includes Ms Comber's husband Francis, was feared hurt by the quake because of their estimated proximity to the epicentre.

A Ballarat man who has travelled to Nepal more than 20 times in the last 15 years said it would become harder for people still missing to make contact with home as the days go on. 

"The difficulty is communication. Most of Nepal seems to not have a lot of electricity in any case, and this has knocked out a lot of infrastructure," said Graeme Kent, whose charity Aussie Action Abroad builds schools and runs health program in Nepal. 

He said in the first 48 hours following the earthquake many people still had working mobile phones, but it would be tough to keep them charged now. 

"Roads are cut (between many villages), so we're not sure what the access is like either," he said.
