Police
report a German tourist who was missing for more than two weeks in the
Australian Outback survived by eating flies after becoming lost and stranded by
floodwaters.
Police Inspector Mark Henderson told ABC
Station that Daniel Dudzisz was picked up by a motorist late Thursday near the
township of Windorah in Queensland state.
The 26-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic had
last been seen on Febuary 17 when he left Windorah to walk 77 kilometers (48
miles) north across rugged terrain to the settlement of Jundah.
Mark said Dudzisz became stranded by
floodwaters for about 10 days and lived on insects for most of the time he was
far lost.
He said Dudzisz refused medical treatment at
Windorah and was determined to continue walking.
