A 17-year-old Australian boy who was missing for six days in the dense bush of Australia has been found alive and well.
William, whose last name has not been released, has been missing since November 6, when he and a friend were camping in an area about 180 kilometers east of Melbourne, the capital of Victoria state.
Due to the extreme cold at night, fears for the boy's health gradually increased. Police dogs, divers and helicopters were also used in a large-scale operation to find him.
He was found on November 12 six days later and returned to the arms of his family. His family, happy to find him, said he was unharmed, but jokingly added that he would be forced to stay at home for the rest of his life as punishment.
