“Emergency services were called by the male, aged in his forties, explaining that he had been out trail bike riding by himself, and had become lost and only had limited water,” the spokesman said.

“After a ground search failed to locate him, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) requested the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter to start searching for the man.

“Soon after arriving, at the last known co-ordinates, the rescue chopper crew located the lost rider at a remote hut, on top of a hill.”
