A seven-year-old boy who spent a freezing night lost in the wilderness says a friendly kangaroo is the reason for his survival.
“He was playing outside, picking up sticks and he saw a wallaby walk by and he followed it into the bush,” Simon’s father Etienne Kruger said.
“A kangaroo came closer to him and ate the flowers from him, and the kangaroo fell asleep next to him,” Mr Kruger told 7News.
The boy’s mother Linda said: “I think it was a miracle, when I smell his jacket, it’s kangaroo – bush and kangaroo.”
Police mounted a huge search on Saturday night, even using parachute flares to try and guide Simon to them.
“I saw the helicopters, but they couldn’t see me,” Simon said.
He was spotted nearly 24 hours after he disappeared and winched back to safety and into the arms of his elated parents.
