The 40-year-old was found by a pastoralist who was conducting a bore check south of Alice Springs. 9News

Aerial searches will now be conducted to find Ms Hockridge.

After leaving their vehicle where it became bogged in the bed of the Finke River on November 19, the three drank from a cattle watering hole and ate biscuits and beef noodles before splitting up. Alice Springs Superintendent Pauline Vicary said the trio had left a note inside their vehicle to indicate the direction they were heading.

For one desperate week they stayed together, gathering the dirty water, boiling it when they could and using a shirt to strain out the sediment, Supt Vicary said.
