German backpacker found after 11 nights in Australia's outback
German backpacker, Carolina Wilga, was found after surviving 11 nights lost in Australia's outback by drinking rainwater and sleeping in a cave. Rescued due to "sheer luck," she had suffered exhaustion, dehydration, insect bites, and an injured foot. Wilga's family was relieved, and she is now recovering in a hospital in Perth.
