Backpackers Revelation as Shes FOUND Barefoot After Vanishing in Australian Outback
Carolina Wilga, 26, from Germany, survived sub zero temperatures and mosquitos for almost two weeks in the unforgiving Outback in an astonishing story of bravery and resilience MailOnline 17 JUL 2025 ![]() A backpacker who was missing in the Australian Outback for 12 days is lucky to be alive after being found by a passing motorist. ![]() Carolina Wilga, 26, from Germany was last seen on June 29 at a general store in the remote wheat farming town of Beacon 200 miles northeast of Perth in Western Australia. Astonishingly, the woman somehow managed to survive almost two weeks alone in the harsh environment. Last Friday, police confirmed that she had been found limping along a road in the Karroun Hill Nature Reserve in a severely dehydrated and fragile state. Shes been located walking on a bushtrack on the edge of the reserve from which she was missing and shes been recovered by a member of the public which was fantastic, said Inspector Martin Glynn of WA Police. Astonishingly, despite being ravaged by mosquitoes and suffering sub-zero temperatures at night, Carolina has not been put off by her ordeal. Instead, the intrepid traveller wants to continue exploring Australia. WA Police Detective Acting Inspector Jessica Securo revealed Carol has told me that she loves Australia. She still has so much travel to do here. She hasnt made it over to the East Coast yet, so thats still on her bucket list. So I think if she has the ability to stay, she definitely will ![]() Carolines van became bogged down in the Outback While Inspector Martin Glynn said at the time of her rescue She does have some injuries. Shes been ravaged by mosquitoes. Shes obviously been through an amazing journey, a trauma no doubt will be a testimony to demonstrating her bravery in those circumstances out there. Tania Henley, who came across injured Carolina by the roadside, told ABC She was very scared, very relieved. She was in a fragile state but she was well, thin, but well. She was probably about 40 kilometres from my homestead She said it was very, very cold, and it was below zero. The reserve where Carolina was missing covers more than staggering 300,000 hectares. She had been travelling around Australia for the past two years and working at mine sites in WA. Following her ordeal, Carolina said: Western Australia has taught me what it really means to be part of a true community. Here, humanity, solidarity, and care for one another are what truly matter and in the end, thats what counts most. ![]() The backpacker thanked those involved in her rescue and went on to label Tania as her angel. My deepest thanks also go to every single person who simply thought of me and of course, to my rescuer and angel, Tania she said. |
