Australian authorities said on Saturday (July 12) they found a 26-year-old German backpacker “safe and well” after she had been missing in a remote part of the country’s northwest for almost two weeks.
Carolina Wilga, who vanished on June 29 from near the outback town of Beacon, about 254 km (157 miles) north of Western Australia state capital Perth, was found by a passing motorist on a road in the region on Friday (July 11), police said.
Wilga was airlifted to Perth where she was transported to hospital where she is recovering.
A large-scale search was initiated for Wilga after her vehicle was found abandoned in the state’s sparsely populated Wheatbelt region, which spans 154,862 square km.
