Backpacker rescued after two weeks
A backpacker who was missing in Australia for nearly two weeks has been found alive and well.
Jamie Neale, from north London, went missing in dense bushland in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, 12 days ago.
Rescuers had nearly given up hope of finding the British tourist, but two walkers called emergency services after discovering him.
His aunt told the BBC she "never lost hope". He's thought to be suffering from not having had enough water.
Mr Neale was last seen at a youth hostel in New South Wales.
His personal possessions were found in his room, but he had vanished.
The search involved the Blue Mountains Local Area Command, a dog unit, the Rural Fire Service (RFS), State Emergency Service (SES), Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).
