Missing men located but 'feeling the effects of three days in the bush'

Three men at the centre of a sprawling search operation in remote west Arnhem Land have been found safe and well.NT Police launched a large-scale ground and air searchManingrida man Benjamin Lee, 40, and Milingimbi men Damien Marrkululu and Isaac Ritjili, both 21, went missing early on Wednesday morning.

Two people they travelled with were later picked up but the three men were nowhere to be found, prompting a large-scale search involving a dozen Aboriginal rangers, local police and two helicopters. Ingrid Stonhill from the Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation, whose rangers took part in the search, said locals found the men a long way from the community."I saw outside the medical centre, so many people who were obviously very relieved family members," she said.

"We are really relieved that they were found alive and well but probably feeling the effects of three days in the bush."

How vague - 'feeling the effects'

Burke & Wills: Hold our camels.

I though our First Nation people survived very well 40,000 years in the bush.
