An older man has been found dehydrated but alive after being lost in near-freezing conditions in a remote part of Western Australia in what police have called 'nothing short of a miracle'. 9News
It took an extraordinary effort to rescue the 80-year-old, with police camping out in harsh terrain and relying on aerial food drops during the two-night mission in Gascoyne in the state's north-west.
"I think the outcome is nothing short of a miracle - with an 80-year-old man who has ventured 14 kilometres into the bushland and we've managed to find him alive, that is a miracle." Superintendent Steve Post said. The alarm was raised at 11pm on Friday after the man failed to return from a drive around his acreage, 160 kilometres south-west of Sandstone.Woolworths drops prices on 400 products amid cost of living crisis
