Footage shows moment missing Queensland family found in outback NSW
August 10, 2022
Darian Aspinall, 27, was travelling with her children Winter Bellamy, two, and Koda Bellamy, four, and the kid’s grandmother, 50-year-old Leah Gooding from Queensland to Adelaide where they were moving.
The family had run out of food and water when a helicopter spotted their car off-track 50 kilometres south east of Tibooburra, in the far north-west of NSW, late on Tuesday afternoon.
Images show the family waving up at the helicopter with their clothes to get the pilot’s attention.
“The ladies there were waving at us and so as we passed down one side I opened the window and waved back at them to let them know that we’d seen them,” Nick Shew, AeroTech Hems pilot, said.
Police say Google maps took them off track onto a dirt road away from a sealed highway where they got bogged.
