Wandering youth from Australia after years on the road
An Australian wanderer aged about 14 fled from schooling and has since roamed near the Lambert border, walking from Bath to Tibaburra, then north to New South Wales. He described long exposure to sun and hunger, lived on tubers and stolen fruit, and was once questioned by police about possible war service. He had no money, wore improvised footwear, and showed signs of imminent maturity. Police noted his apparent nourishment despite hardship.
