Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE hero farmer who found a missing backpacker in the Australian Outback has revealed the first words she said to the lost woman. Tania French discovered a dishevelled Carolina Wilga, 26, on the side of a remote stretch of road 12 days after the German first vanished. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 German backpacker Carolina Wilga vanished for 12 days in the Australian Outback before she was found by a farmer Credit: Facebook 9 Tania French discovered a dishevelled Carolina on the side of a remote stretch of road Credit: 7News 9 Carolina was seen being airlifted to hospital on Friday after being found Credit: 7NEWS 9 Tania recalled the first interaction the pair shared after she noticed the woman waving her hands in the air as she stumbled across the road. After pulling over, Tania comforted Carolina and gave her a big hug and told the woman about the desperate search efforts over her. Tania told 7News: "I stopped. I went out and gave her a hug, I said, 'look, everyone has been looking for you.' "She couldn't believe it. She didn't realise how long [she had been missing]." Carolina then called the farmer from Wheatbelt, Western Australia, her "guardian angel". Tania was picking up a truck from Beacon on Friday - about 186 miles northeast of Perth - when she first spotted Carolina. The road she was travelling down is a rarely used route for locals and tourists with Tania saying her seeing the German was "meant to be". "The chance of me going down that road and meeting up with her was incredible," the farmer said. "It was meant to be, because no one goes up and down that road." She added the backpacker looked noticeably thin but appeared in good health despite not being seen or heard from since June 29. Missing backpacker found ALIVE after nearly two weeks wandering Oz bushland Police believed Carolina had become disoriented and walked into bushland after her van broke down in the Karroun Hill area in Western Australia's outback. The region is said to be an unforgiving expanse, described by authorities as remote, rocky and inhospitable. After spending a night trying to repair the vehicle, Carolina decided to go off and find help on her own. With minimal food and water, the German backpacker followed the sun's position to head west. The temperature in the area had dropped down to zero degrees at night and there was heavy rain. At one point, she even reportedly sought refuge inside a cave and drank water from puddles to survive. A Facebook page titled 'Help Find Carolina was launched to assist the search as WA Police issued an urgent nationwide appeal for information. Cops managed to track her last known texts which were sent to a friend in the early hours of June 29. 9 Carolina was in a van travelling through the Outback when she broke down and tried to walk to safety Credit: AFP 9 She was spotted wearing a long beige jumper and light blue jeans before she went missing Credit: Western Australia Police Force 9 Carolina had been backpacking across Australia for two years Credit: AFP At 7am, Carolina reportedly said she wouldn't be able to drop off a book and a jerry can to her pal because she had 'some stuff she needed to handle'. She was then spotted in the van at a local store in the tiny town of Beacon on June 29 at around 12.10pm. She went missing the following day. The van — equipped with solar panels and water — was later found on Thursday, but there was no sign of the missing woman. Tania would be the first person to see Carolina after the ordeal as she informed police of her incredible discovery. WA police's Martin Glynn told reporters on Friday that Carolina is now in good health and recovering. He said: 'As you can imagine, from the trauma she suffered for the last few days, she's been obviously through a great deal. 'She does have some injuries. She's been ravaged by mosquitoes." Carolina had been backpacking across Australia for two years and recently worked at mine sites in regional WA. 9 The Mitsubishi Delica van was found abandoned on Thursday Credit: Western Australia Police Force

Distracted dad left gun in reach of toddler, 2, who shot himself
A two-year-old boy is in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the arm with a gun his father left out. 27-year-old father, Oscar Guerra, was arrested and charged with one felony count of child abuse after his son grabbed the gun from the couch in Phoenix, Arizona. The boy's mother told police it's not the first time Guerra had left a gun out, and she had warned him to keep his guns secured. Guerra reportedly took out the gun to clean it, but began watching videos on his computer and forgot about it. Police were called around 10.40 pm on July 9, and found Guerra and his son, who was injured with a gunshot to his left arm. The tot was taken to the hospital and has non-life-threatening injuries, police said, but Guerra is facing a prison sentence for the accident. He said he saw his son walk into the room, but thought he had gone back to his bedroom when he heard a gunshot. Guerra is out of jail without bail, but is facing nine years in prison if convicted. The shooting comes months after another two-year-old shot his twin with a gun he found at home. It's not clear how the toddler got access to the weapon while at home on Robin Hood Lane in Hampton, Georgia. 'It was so scary, a terrible feeling', neighbour Melanie Pressley told local TV news station Fox 5. 'We knew something terrible had happened.' For hours, police searched inside and outside of the white bungalow, set back from the road, where emergency service vehicles were parked in a row. Toy cars and tricycles were lined up near swings in the garden where children might otherwise be playing. Such incidents are more common than you might think in the US, where guns are a leading cause of unintentional injury among children. More Trending Five-year-old boy, Brooks Thomas Wilson, died after shooting himself with a gun he found while playing in his parents' bedroom last August. A single shot struck him in the head. His obituary said Brooks 'lived his life to the fullest and always wore his heart on his sleeve'. The month before, Nakyzi Odums shot himself in the chest in a Walmart parking lot, where his parents had left him in the car while they went to buy fireworks. He died three days later at hospital in Douglas, Georgia. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
