I did Cedar Ck back in the 60’s dense, confusing, difficult, the Pom’s mistake was in following a Blue Mountains tourist map, enough info to get you into trouble but not enough to get you out, the horrible little freebie maps should be burned.

The 19-year-old was found dehydrated, but in relatively good health, after spending 12 days in freezing conditions.

But in a paid interview with Channel Nine last night, Mr Neale said those allegations were unfair.

“I know what’s happened and the people who were out searching for me … know that it happened and that’s good enough for me,” he said.

“People say what they want. I’m not lying, it’s the truth.”

He also said he had a diary with last messages to friends and family but he LOST IT !

Gee he’s recovered enough to hire a media agent, how’s that.
I guess it’s all stuff you do after spending 12 days lost in the bush.

The medical staff treating him certainly don’t regard it as a fake. They’re still pumping fluids into him and treating various scratches etc. He won’t be released from medical care today.

Looks fake to me, if anyone doesn’t look like he hadn’t eaten in 12 days it was him and why was the father leaving the country after 12 days with his son still missing ?
