Police launched an extensive search for Robert Weber, who was last seen leaving a hotel in Kilkivan, Queensland, on January 6.

Authorities scoured the area’s dense bushland, rivers, dams and steep terrain in wet conditions to search for Weber, but called off the rescue mission after a week.

Weber, 58, was discovered on Sunday morning — 18 days after he was last seen — by a property owner.
