Police say a hiker survived on two muesli bars, foraged berries and creek water for two weeks while lost on a remote Australian mountain range.

The 23-year-old hiker, Hadi Nazari, survived for almost two weeks on two granola bars he found in a hut and on water from rivers and creeks, the authorities said.

An Australian student who went missing while hiking last month has been found alive, after surviving for almost two weeks on berries and two muesli bars.
