German backpacker Carolina Wilga has been found alive after going missing 12 days ago in remote Western Australian bushland.
According to the Guardian Australia, Western Australia police’s Martin Glynn told reporters on Friday evening that the 26-year-old had been located walking on a bush track on the edge of the reserve where she had gone missing.
He said she had been recovered by a member of the public on the roadside and brought to Beacon. As of 7.30pm AEST, Wilga had been airlifted out of the area en route to hospital in Perth for medical attention.
“As you can imagine, from the trauma she suffered for the last few days, she’s been obviously through a great deal,” he was quoted by the Guardian Australia news outlet.
“She does have some injuries. She’s been ravaged by mosquitoes. She’s obviously been through an amazing journey, a trauma no doubt will be a testimony to demonstrating her bravery in those circumstances out there.” (Guardian Australia/NAN 11-07-25)
