"The true heroes (for me) are the blokes who took their boat out through a narrow gap in the reef, at night, in crap weather, with no information but guesswork, and came back in again safely. And the bloke who went and stood on the lookout, and looked all around, to see the torch. Quite scary to consider that survival came down to a bloke, on a hill, who used his eyes (no radar, no Spiderwatch, no Flight Tracker) to look in the wrong direction (West, not South, as assumed)."
--> The 'bloke' that spotted them was told that he wasn’t needed and directed to go home....!!! He spotted them on the way home!
I'm still in awe that these 6 people are alive today. It is nothing short of a miracle that they are still here.
