‘Sheer luck’: how German backpacker Carolina Wilga was found after 11 nights lost in dense Australian outback

Well I'm glad the article was updated to add the "stay in your vehicle" advice, I was shocked the original grauniad article didn't have it.

I'm sure everyone on here knows but I'm starting to think they should hand out pamphlets at the airport saying something like

"Driving in the bush without adequate preparation kills tourists. If you don't know what adequate preparation is you're going to FUCKING DIE, so find out before thinking it's just like driving to Paris via the Ardennes"

Thank goodness she was found. It sounded like another German lost in a desert that would become a tragic tale. This really is the best possible outcome.
