Robert Bogucki

Robert Bogucki

Robert Bogucki is an Alaskan famous for having survived 43 days lost in Australia's Great Sandy Desert before being rescued. While police called off the initial search for Bogucki after 12 days, believing him to have perished in the desert, family members hired specialist trackers [cite web|url=http://www.1srg.org/Missions/Mission-Bogucki.pdf|title=Lost in the Desert|publisher=1st Special Response Group|accessdate=2008-05-30] to continue the search and soon found fresh evidence that Bogucki had survived at least that long.

Bogucki was found by a news helicopter on 23 August 1999 in Western Australia's Edgar Ranges, 400km from his departure point.
