Carolina Wilga, a 26-year-old German backpacker, was miraculously found alive after spending 12 days lost in the remote Australian outback. She had last been seen on June 29, 2025, in the small town of Beacon, Western Australia, before her Mitsubishi van was discovered abandoned and bogged in mud in the Karroun Hill Nature Reserve. Carolina survived extreme weather, freezing nights, dehydration, and injuries from mosquitoes while navigating dense bushland on foot. Her rescue came after a passing motorist spotted her walking along a bush track. She was airlifted to Perth hospital in stable condition, astonishing rescuers.
