Dec 28, 2020 in Travel A father and son have been rescued in the remote Australian outback after their car became bogged in floodwaters, forcing a 12-hour trek for help. A 10-year-old boy and his father were among a group of travellers whose car became stuck near Queensland's Mount Isa on Sunday night, RACQ LifeFlight Rescue said in a statement. After spending the night in their car, the boy and his father stayed behind while three of the group set off to get help -- walking 50 kilometres (31 miles) across remote country to reach a local police station on Monday night.
