An Australian hiker who was injured in a 6m (20ft) fall down a waterfall says he had to "carry" his broken leg while crawling for two days to be rescued.
Neil Parker, 54, was bushwalking alone near Brisbane on Sunday when he slipped, leaving his wrist broken and lower leg "clean snapped in half".
After losing his phone in the process, he decided his best chance of being rescued was to crawl to a clearing.
He made it there and was spotted - but only after an agonisingly slow journey.
"I'd get about a metre, a metre-and-a-half, each time before I had to stop and take a break," he told reporters from his hospital bed on Wednesday.
"I just couldn't believe it. It's only 3km [2 miles] but [it took] two days to cover 3km. I was thinking that I was never going to get there."
