“He had no water, no food and he’d broken down again,” Sen. Sgt Cooper said.
“He had some fuel left but not much. He wouldn’t have made it to Billiluna 300km away. “So he’s in his 80s, in a vehicle with one battery travelling along a stock route outside of tourist season.”

As police escorted the man to the nearest community, one of his tyres was punctured.
He was unable to change the tyre with the tools he was carrying.
