一名17岁的少年身穿短裤和工装靴走进吉普斯兰的丛林，身上没有手机、食物或水，六天后却活着走了出来。他是怎么做到的？周四，答案的一部分来自空中。其余部分属于威廉，而他尚未公开讲述。
维多利亚州警察局空中支队的一组机组人员于周四上午（11月12日）发现了他。他们是在斯托尼溪以东约2公里处、沃尔哈拉东附近发现了他的钓鱼工具箱，随后找到了他。威廉当时就在附近，正在一处干涸河床的岩石上睡觉。他光着上身，晒伤严重，身边放着一个枕头、一个午餐盒和一张小桌子。直升机在头顶盘旋时，他醒了过来，微笑着挥手并握拳挥舞。随后，警员被放下吊索，将他带出丛林。1
“说实话，今天的搜索区域我们徒步根本无法进入，坡度太陡，已经超出任何人的能力范围。”
他是如何失踪的
沃尔哈拉东附近的六天
这六天是什么样子
目前所知的他在丛林中的经历，都来自警方以及他的母亲，并经记者转述。警方表示，他连续数日在极其崎岖、布满岩石的地形中行走。救援前两天，他从陡峭的河床斜坡上摔了下去，此后便一直待在原地，睡觉并等待被找到。1
本博补充了一个引人注目的细节：威廉“完全不知道警方正在找他”。然而，他仍然做了让自己能被找到的事情。坠落之后，他停止移动，并待在直升机机组人员从空中就能看到的装备旁边。1
搜索与找到
直升机飞来时，巴克利恰好在科瓦尔集结点。她张开双臂向直升机跑去，对儿子说：“你吓死我了。”直升机降落前几分钟，州紧急服务处事故指挥官托希·库鲁还与警察和巴克利站在一起。“刚才有一股气流进来，没人说话……我们知道有什么要来了。”他说道，并称这次团聚是“令人敬畏的时刻”。在科瓦尔娱乐保留地，巴克利对记者说：“他再也不许离开家了，要禁足一辈子。”1
他被送往拉特罗贝地区医院接受观察。医院首席执行官唐·麦克雷表示，看到他“状态这么好，真是不可思议”，并称他“显然是一个身体很好的年轻人”。周四深夜，他的母亲表示，他说话很有精神，心情愉快，也饿了，她还给他带来了他点名要的麦当劳。如果一切顺利，他最早可能于周五（11月13日）出院。本博说：“我认为，他本可以撑过更多天；他身体非常好。”1

播出原貌
- Lost six days in the bush, a teenager woke to a helicopter and pumped his fist.
- William is 17. He disappeared from his first solo camping trip in eastern Victoria wearing only shorts and work boots, and more than a hundred people spent six days looking for him. Police found him alive in country too steep to search on foot.
- How he got through those six days is something police are still waiting to hear from William himself.
- On Thursday morning, a Victoria Police Air Wing crew spotted his fishing tackle box from the air, about two kilometres east of Stoney Creek, near Walhalla East in Gippsland. William was close by, asleep on a rock in a dry riverbed. He was shirtless and sunburned, with a pillow, a lunch box and a small table beside him.
- The helicopter circled, and he woke up. He smiled, waved and pumped his fist, and police said he gave a thumbs up. Officers were then winched down to bring him out.
- Acting Inspector Jason Benbow said the ground was way too steep to cover on foot, beyond the capabilities of any human. Authorities said William couldn't have been found without the helicopter. The crew was reportedly flying over ground nobody had searched yet.
- The crew flew him to the police staging ground at Cowwarr, where his mother, Elizabeth Barkley, was waiting. She ran to the helicopter with her arms open. From there he went to Latrobe Regional Hospital in Traralgon for monitoring.
- William still has to tell his own story of those six days. Subscribe to this channel and we'll keep following it, here and at heyday dot news.
- William went missing without his phone, his food or his water. His mother had dropped him off that Friday for a weekend of camping with a friend. It was his first trip on his own, and he'd had little bush experience. William lives with autism. He's believed to have walked a short way back to the drop-off point to fetch more gear, and he didn't come back. His friend searched the area and found no trace of him.
- Police say he was last seen around four that Friday afternoon, near Stoney Creek Road between Cowwarr and Walhalla. Two days before the rescue, police say, he fell down a steep riverbed embankment. On Wednesday they widened the search, and on Thursday morning the helicopter crew found him.
- Police said he spent days walking through extremely rugged, rocky terrain. His mother said he missed a turn-off back to camp and curled up under some bushes to sleep. The next day, she said, he started walking again to find the campsite, and he just missed his footing and down he went. After the fall he stayed put, sleeping and waiting. He used two towels as blankets against the cold nights. He rationed a family-sized bag of chicken chips, and it lasted about two days. Benbow said William had no idea police were even looking for him.
- More than 100 people searched for him on land and in the air, with more than 80 volunteers in the bush every day. Police divers, the dog squad, the rescue squad and the SES all joined in, with boats, horses, motorbikes and several helicopter crews.
- Nights in the region got near freezing. On Wednesday, after a hunting camera turned up in the search area, police asked hunters, campers and landowners around Cowwarr to urgently check their deer, trail and game cameras for anything recorded since the sixth of November. Nobody has said whether that footage showed William.
- Police put the rescue on Thursday morning. A Friday and a Wednesday were also mentioned early on, and neither fits a six-day search. Walhalla East sits about 180 to 185 kilometres east of Melbourne.
- When the crew reached him, police said, William was exhausted and couldn't walk.
- Police said he had cuts on his legs and severe sunburn to his upper body and face, but was in good spirits and mostly in good health. His mother said he had only a few scratches and some sunburn, and seemed fit and healthy. Late Thursday she said he was talkative, happy and hungry.
- Benbow said that other than that, William was talking, smiling, hugging his mother, and having a doughnut and water. His mother later brought him the McDonald's order he asked for. A quarter pounder, six nuggets, a cheeseburger and large fries. Don McRae, who runs Latrobe Regional Hospital, said it was extraordinary to see him so well. He said William is obviously a fit young man, and that held him in good stead.
- Minutes before the news came through, SES incident controller Tohi Kuru was standing with police and Barkley. He said an air came over them, nobody spoke, and they knew something was coming. He called it awe-inspiring to watch that mother reunite with William.
- Barkley said that when William told her, I love you Mum, it just melted her heart. She said she never stopped believing he was alive. Then she told reporters he's never leaving the house again, and he's grounded for life.
- She said he dreams of being a famous AFL footballer. Famous that way, she said, not famous like this. He'll only go camping again in a cabin, and with her. She thanked the volunteers. Benbow said there were a few emotional police in there. He called it the best thing about the job, and said it doesn't happen all the time.
- Police still want to hear from William exactly how he survived six days without supplies or proper clothing. Benbow thinks he could have lasted longer. He said William was very fit and healthy, and that it's amazing he survived this long, through cold nights and hot days. If all goes well, the hospital says he could be discharged as early as Friday.
