Gympie MP Tony Perrett and his wife Michelle found him by the side of a dam
Share Just this morning it was good fortune that he was there and we were able to locate him.
Mr Perrett had decided to keep searching for the local man, despite police calling off the search.
They found him around two miles from where workmen discovered his car last week on January 17. He said he was trying to get to Caboolture and he got disorientated … he became lost and didn t know where he was, the MP explained.
Mr Weber revealed that he survived off wild mushrooms and water from the dam after running out of his own supplies.
