Two brothers found after costly Canberra search
Canberra brothers were found after a lengthy, expense heavy search that ran for four days. Agencies involved included the RAAF with two Wessex helicopters, the ACT Police, the Royal Australian Navy, and extensive volunteer groups. Total costs were expected to exceed 45 000 dollars, with police and defense services citing fuel, vehicle, and overtime expenses. The brothers, aged around 13 and 16, had wandered in the Budawang Range before a Canberra Bush Walking Club member guided rescuers to their location near the upper Clyde River on Saturday.
