Survived on mushrooms

Australia man missing for 18 days 'survived on mushrooms'

Search efforts launched after Robert Weber, 58, went missing in the state of Queensland were called off this week.

But police said he had been found near a dam on Sunday by a "property owner", who has been identified in Australian media as a local politician.

Mr Weber was "suffering exposure to the elements" but otherwise safe and well, police said.

Before Sunday, he had last been seen leaving a hotel in the town of Kilkivan with his dog on 6 January. He ran into trouble when his car got stuck in dirt on a farm road.
