Overview

• Three weeks after her mid-July rescue, Carolina Wilga’s Mitsubishi van was pulled from dense bush in Karroun Hill Nature Reserve.
• Farmers navigated a 32-kilometer overgrown track and switched to a loader when a four-wheel-drive proved ineffective.
• Volunteer firefighter and farmer Andrew Sprigg led the multi-day extraction effort.
• The 1995 Mitsubishi will remain in secure storage in regional Western Australia until Wilga’s friends arrange its collection.
• Wilga has returned to her family in Castrop-Rauxel and no longer requires medical care.
