據報導，26歲的丹尼爾．杜吉斯上個月在步行穿越朗芮西南邊的溫朵拉與江達時失蹤。

He was picked up by a motorist late yesterday afternoon near Cooper Creek at Windorah.

他在昨天傍晚於溫朵拉庫柏溪附近被一名汽車駕駛搭救。

Police says Mr Dudzisz had become lost and was stranded in the bush between two flooded sections of the Barcoo River for about 10 days.

Police said last month Mr Dudzisz had been walking for several months through New South Wales and Queensland but had been in regular contact with police.

警方上個月表示，杜吉斯已經徒步走了好幾個月，穿越新南威爾斯與昆士蘭，但一直與警方保持聯絡。

However, aerial and ground searches over the last few weeks were launched when police had not heard from him when he left Windorah on February 17, where he was believed to be walking 90 kilometres to Jundah.

然而，當他2月17日離開溫朵拉後，據信要走90公里前往江達，警方就失去他的消息，因而在過去數週發動陸空搜尋。
