“He was able to survive because he was close to the water,” a spokesman for the authorities said. AJ went into the bush at a temperature of about three degrees for three nights.
The three-year-old child was reunited with his family and first underwent a medical examination. “He has diaper rash and was bitten by ants, but he is still alive,” his father, Anthony Elflock, told local media.

“My leg, my hip, my ankle – I can’t walk. I was in the bush without sleep for four days,” says his father, describing the dramatic moments of the search.
The disappearance sparked a huge outcry, with hundreds of people volunteering to search. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison tweeted, “What a relief! I could not imagine how traumatic this experience would have been for AJ and his parents. Glad to hear the baby is fine. “
