On Sunday, Prime Minister Roger Cook warned that the community should “thank” that Mrs. Wilga was alive, but other travelers to put them in similar scenarios.
“I will not speculate in the wisdom of his trekte, but frankly took some measures. You take a very high risk when you go out to the wild nature, and we know that you can prepare for conditions and may be very dangerous in the regional WA and can be very dangerous.
“Everyone, please just take notes, it could end in a different way – this could have been under a tragic loss of life and very sad conditions.
“Today, our success story has the opportunity to celebrate Carolina’s survival.”
Mr. Cook said that personal positioning devices such as an EPIRB and a satellite phone were tools that could help those who first responded while trying to find someone missing.

“It was equipped with a certain amount of equipment to remove the minibus from trouble, but ultimately got into trouble.
“Epirbs, satellite phones, if you are entering the Regional WA yourself and are not local and are not accustomed to such conditions, such things are a really good idea.”

“You know, (O) could have planned better than talking to him,” he said.

“Every human being is different from the survival skills in the bush, but I always go back, you stay with your car.
“It is much easier for an air search to find a vehicle than a person.”
Ms. Wilga, who was “unbelieving ğı, who was able to survive, attached solar panels to the roof of the minibus. The police said that the vehicle was “mechanically intact” after boxing.
The young woman was stable at Fiona Stanley Hospital on Sunday.
