Three travellers missing since Friday found, one's whereabouts still unknown - NT News
The rescue of the three follows an extensive air and ground search in rugged country near the Maningrida Road, where their vehicle became stuck at a remote creek crossing. Those found today included a mother and her three-year-old daughter who went missing in the bush, without any provisions, after attempting to walk about 50km to Gunbalanya from the stranded Nissan Navara. The mother and daughter were conveyed from the rescue site to the Gunbalanya Health Clinic for treatment following their ordeal. Police said today search teams had been forced to look for two separate groups from the same vehicle. The drama began when a Nissan Navara carrying five people became bogged at Cooper’s Creek on the Maningrida Road while heading west towards Gunbalanya. While the family group was attempting to walk to Gunbalyana the mother and daughter complained of feeling unwell, so the man left them in the bush and went for help. When rescuers finally reached the Nissan Navara at Cooper’s Creek the other two occupants, a man and a woman, were not with the vehicle.
