Australia family found after 10 days in wilderness

A 5-year-old boy and his 7-year-old brother were both in a stable condition at an Australian hospital Monday after surviving with their father for 10 days in a remote national park before a farmer discovered them.

 

The family trio found themselves with little food, no cellphone reception and temperatures that rose to about 38 Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) after dad Steven Van Lonkhuyzen took a wrong turn during a family road trip and then his vehicle got bogged in mud, according to police.

 

They were rescued after farmer Tom Wagner went searching for them on his four-wheeled farm motorbike and found them after several hours in the Expedition National Park.
