I agree, a good job done but he was lucky too. An ex-colleague of mine from UK went missing in the early 1990s. He'd only been in Oz for about 3 months, was newly married and had emigrated. He and a friend went into the outback and their truck broke down. His friend was found badly dehydrated after three days after trying to walk out but I don't think my ex-colleague's body ever was found.
