'My boy's been found!' Hugs and a kick up the backside for son feared dead in Outback

[Swede]

Time for a little good news.



Against the odds, Neale, from London, had survived his 12-day ordeal by eating seeds, foraging for lettuce-like weeds and sheltering at night under logs.

He was at the Narrow Neck fire trail, just a few miles as the crow flies from the town of Katoomba from where he had set off, when he stumbled across two bush walkers and told them he was the missing backpacker.

Reunited with his son at the hospital where he was being treated for dehydration and exposure, Cass spoke to reporters with a mixture of absolute delight – "I was like a lunatic. My boy's been found! My boy's been found!" – and affectionate paternal anger for the "stupid kid" who had come "back from the dead".
