Carolina Wilga, a German woman who disappeared in Australia

Melbourne, Australia – German tourist Carolina Wilga was found alive in the remote outback of Australia on Friday 12 days after she disappeared and a day after her abandoned truck was discovered, police said.

The last known sighting of the 26 -year -old backpacker, and her last family and friends listened to her, was June 29. He was seen in a general store in the city of Beacon de Farming Wheat, 200 miles northeast of the state of the state of Western Australia Perth. Beacon had a population of 123 during the 2021 census.

A public member found Wilga wandering along a forest path on Friday night, the Western Australia Police Force INSP. Said Martin Glynn. He was in a “fragile” state but had no serious injuries and was transferred to a hospital in Perth to receive treatment, Glynn told journalists.

“I think that once we listen to its story, it will be a remarkable story,” Glynn said, adding that it was a “great result” for the backpacker and those involved in the search.

“You know, she is obviously faced in some incredible conditions,” he said. “There is a very hostile environment, both Flora and Fauna. It is a really really challenging environment to face.”

The reserve where Wilga was lost covers more than 740,000 acres. The temperature from Thursday to Friday was 36.7 Fahrenheit, without rain in the area.

The crew of a police helicopter saw his truck on Thursday in the desert in the Karroun Hill Natural Reserve, 22 miles north of Beacon, Glynn said.

“Very difficult country. Huge area. So, it is a miracle that the car has really seen, to be honest,” Glynn told reporters before Wilga was found.

Earth search engines on Friday toured a very wooded radius of 1,000 feet beyond the truck.

Police assume that Wilga’s Van, a 1995 Wagon Mitsubishi, got caught in the mud the day Beacon left, Glynn said. The truck, which has solar panels and drinking water reserves, had recovery boards under its rear wheels that are used to give traction vehicles when stuck.

Police believed that Wilga was lost and was not a victim of crime.

In a position on social networks, the Western Australia Police Force said Wilga “was located by a public member, before being transmitted to receive medical care.”

It was found only one day after local officials and media said An Australian surferto whom he had feared that he was lost at sea, he was rescued after spending a night on an uninhabited island where they had entered the water. The man, identified by the local media Darcy Deepholts, 19, spent the night in North Solitary Island, which is located about seven miles from the coast, according to Sydney’s Daily Telegraph.
