German backpacker found after 11 nights in Australia's outback

German backpacker Carolina Wilga, aged 26, was found after being lost in Australia's outback for 11 nights. Wilga had been hiking in a remote area near Alice Springs when she became separated from her group. She survived by drinking from puddles and taking shelter in a cave. After an extensive search operation involving police, helicopters, and local volunteers, Wilga was eventually located and rescued. She was dehydrated and exhausted but otherwise in good health. The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by Australia's vast and rugged wilderness, and the importance of proper preparation and safety measures when venturing into remote areas. Wilga's ordeal highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of those who become lost in the outback and the dedication of those who work tirelessly to locate and rescue them.
