澳大利亚17岁少年丛林失踪6天后获救：靠一包薯片与溪水撑到直升机寻获
澳大利亚维多利亚州警方11月12日通报，17岁少年 William 在吉普斯兰（Gippsland）地区 Walhalla 以东的丛林中失踪6天后被空中搜救队寻获，精神状态良好、身体总体无碍，已被送往医院观察。
警方说，William 11月6日（周五）下午约4时最后一次被人看见，地点在 Cowwarr 与 Walhalla 之间的 Stoney Creek Road、T2 小径附近。他当天由母亲送去与朋友周末露营，步行去取更多露营装备后没有返回，同行朋友在附近寻找无果。此后6天，维多利亚州警方制服与专业队伍、国家紧急服务队（SES）、救护人员与志愿者对该区域展开了大规模搜索。
11月12日上午，警方空中联队在 Cowwarr 一带空中搜寻时，在 Stoney Creek 以东约2公里的丛林中发现一只钓具箱，放大查看后发现 William 躺在旁边的一条小溪里。飞行人员索降下到地面将他带出，送回指挥点与母亲团聚。据澳大利亚媒体报道，William 在取装备途中走错路、滑落一处陡坡跌入沟壑后无法爬出，只穿着短裤与工作靴，把一包家庭装鸡肉味薯片在头两天里省着吃完，之后靠溪水与毛巾、枕头保暖撑到获救，参与搜索的人员超过100人。警方对社区、志愿者与各支援单位表示感谢。

Australian Teen Found Alive After Six Days Lost in the Bush: Survived on a Packet of Chips and Creek Water
Victoria Police said on November 12 that 17-year-old William had been found safe and well after six days missing in bushland east of Walhalla, in Victoria's Gippsland region, Australia. He was in good spirits and, for the most part, in good health, and was taken to hospital for monitoring.
Police said William was last seen at about 4 p.m. on Friday, November 6, on Stoney Creek Road, between Cowwarr and Walhalla, near the T2 Track. His mother had dropped him off to camp for the weekend with a friend; he walked a short distance to retrieve further camping equipment and did not return, and his friend's search of the area found no trace of him. Over the following six days, Victoria Police uniform and specialist units, the State Emergency Service, ambulance crews and volunteers conducted an extensive search.
On the morning of November 12, a Police Air Wing crew conducting an aerial search of the Cowwarr area spotted a fishing tackle box in bushland about 2 kilometres east of Stoney Creek, and on zooming in found William lying in a creek nearby. Flight officers were winched down, retrieved him and brought him back to the command post to be reunited with his mother. According to Australian media reports, William had taken a wrong turn while fetching equipment, slipped down a steep embankment into a gully and could not climb out; wearing only shorts and work boots, he rationed a family-size packet of chicken-flavoured chips over the first two days and then survived on creek water, with towels and a pillow for warmth, while more than 100 people took part in the search. Police thanked the community, volunteers and assisting agencies.
