This is doing the rounds in WA's media today:
"TWO Swiss tourists missing since Saturday in remote northern Western Australia have been found alive and
well after walking for three days.
Gerald Augsburger, 62, and his 61-year-old wife Lotti were due to
check out of their accommodation in
Kununurra on Sunday morning, but they didn't appear at reception.
A land search and rescue operation was stepped up on Tuesday, with searchers also taking to the air.
The tourists were found by two
Wyndham residents on the
Gibb River Road, about 5km east of the
Pentecost River, which is about 100km from
Kununurra.
Police said their four wheel drive vehicle became bogged on the Karunjie Track on Saturday, and the couple spent the next three days walking along the
Pentecost River to the
Gibb River Road.
Their rescuers brought them to the
Kununurra Police Station, and they were taken to the
Kununurra District Hospital for medical
check-ups."
