Where’s Wally – tourist lost again
Martin Lake, 50, a former trainee policeman from Birkenhead in England, was labelled the Bumbling Brit in the UK media just last week after spending three days lost on the edge of Alice Springs.
Yesterday, believe it or not, he sparked his second large scale search – involving three helicopters conservatively estimated to have cost Northern Territory taxpayers $10,000 – after becoming lost in the same area again.
Alice Springs Watch Commander Senior Sergeant Michael Potts said rescuers found Mr Lake late yesterday – after he had been missing for four days this time.
“He was found in a slightly different location, approximately 4.6km from town,” he said. The hotel where Mr Lake was staying raised the alarm after the British tourist failed to check out last Friday.
Police said it was disappointing that they have had to rescue Mr Lake twice in such a short period. In the first rescue police eventually found Mr Lake on September 5 almost within shouting distance of the town after a widescale search using three helicopters.
Perhaps they could help him find his way to the airport?
