A missing Australian man has been found alive after surviving on wild mushrooms and dam water for three weeks.
Robert Weber (58) was last seen on January 6 leaving the Kilkivan Hotel-Motel, 130 miles north of Brisbane, Queensland, in his car with his dog.
Search efforts were called off earlier this week, but he was discovered by a local politician and his wife yesterday.
Police reported that Mr Weber was safe and well, despite “suffering exposure to the elements”.
He had become disorientated in the heat, but managed to stay close to a dam. “He left on foot and became lost and remained at a dam where he survived by sleeping on the ground, drinking dam water and eating mushrooms,” Queensland police said in a statement.
