Lost in Australia
When eighteen-year-old student Sam Woodhead left college, he decided to have a gap year and go
travelling before joining the army. Sam was already a fit long-distance runner, but he thought backpacking in
Australia was great training for his future.
Sam arrived in Central Queensland and found a job on a cattle farm in the middle of the countryside. One
Tuesday morning, soon after his arrival, he decided to go for a run. But Sam made some mistakes. He took a
heavy backpack but only one bottle of water, and he didn’t plan a route. After only two hours, he finished his
water and realised he was lost. The temperature was close to 40°C, and he was soon exhausted. After four or
five hours, he decided to stop and spend the night in the outback.
 The next morning, Sam didn’t report for work. His employers checked his room. His backpack and running
shoes were gone, but his mobile and wallet were there. They called the rescue services and Sam’s family. The
