This rescue story is what #FeelGoodFriday is all about! ✨🥳
What began as a peaceful bushwalk on a Thursday afternoon quickly turned into a large-scale search operation, when 82-year-old John got lost on the Birdwood Gully track in Springwood.
With no food, drink, or warm clothing, the search for him became urgent. The NSW Police Force's Rescue & Bomb Disposal Unit, General Duties Police and Detectives from Blue Mountains PAC, PolAir and the Dog Unit, as well as NSW Ambulance , NSW Rural Fire Service, and NSW State Emergency Service
sprung into action and safely found John in the early hours of Friday morning, luckily with only minor cuts. 🚓🚁🚑🐕🦺
A week after his rescue, he was reunited with all those who helped bring him home. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of teamwork, and this reunion is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and compassion of everyone involved. 💙
As we head into summer, let’s remember the importance of safety when bushwalking. Informing someone of your route and your expected return time, just like John did, can make all the difference in an emergency! ☀️🥾⛰🌳
