A lost hiker, 23, was found alive after thirteen days in a vast mountainous area in southeastern Australia. According to his own statements, Hadi Nazari had only eaten two granola bars during the entire time, which he discovered in an abandoned hut.
The young man is said to be in good physical and psychological condition. “This is an incredible result, after 13 long days he was found,” said a statement from police inspector Josh Broadfoot. Australian media spoke of a “miracle”.
Hundreds of emergency services were looking for the man
About 300 emergency services had been tirelessly searching for the man since December 26. He was separated from his two friends to take photos while touring Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains. The area is enormous: a fantastic area for hikers and skiers extends over 6,700 square kilometers.

They notified authorities when he later failed to show up at an agreed meeting point at a campsite. “We have never given up hope of finding him and are overjoyed that we can return him safely to his family,” Broadfoot said.
Walking sticks and trash that authorities believed belonged to the missing man were found near Kosciuszko Creek on New Year’s Eve. On Sunday, search crews discovered camera equipment at a campfire site on the Geehi River. That is why the emergency services remained convinced that there was hope.
Found by other hikers
The man was eventually found by other hikers near Blue Lakes. Nazari shouted to them that he was lost in the bush and was thirsty, a police spokesman said. The group then called emergency services.
According to the information, the student kept himself alive with water from streams. Further details about his struggle for survival in the wilderness were initially unknown.
The rescued man has now been examined by doctors and reunited with family members who, according to the police, were “very, very happy” and thanked the emergency services for their efforts.
