He gets himself lost, not once but twice... and in the same area. The heat must have addled his brain!
Lost British tourist found a second time - Breaking News - National - Breaking News
A 50-year-old British tourist missing in bush north of Alice Springs has been found by searchers for the second time in a week.
The man sparked a major air and ground search last Tuesday after he called police on his mobile phone and told them he was lost.
He said he had gone walking on tracks near the Old Telegraph Station on Sunday, September 3 and had become disorientated.
He was eventually found and taken to hospital suffering sunburn and dehydration.
Tuesday at about 12.40pm (CST) the man called police from his mobile phone to say he was lost again in roughly the same area.
He had gone walking around the Old Telegraph Station again and had been lost since Friday.
Police mounted an air and ground search and found him five hours later, about 4.6km north-east of the Telegraph Station.
The tourist - again suffering dehydration - was taken to hospital and is undergoing medical assessment.
