A 17-year-old Australian boy has been found alive after spending six days alone in Victoria's high country, surviving on creek water and a family pack of Smith's potato chips after falling down a cliff face.
William had been reported missing before search crews, working methodically through difficult terrain, decided to scour a nearby gorge on the morning of his rescue.
It was there that the police air wing spotted a tackle box on the ground below, then William himself, stranded beside a riverbed with no way out.

Rather than attempting to navigate the rugged terrain in an unknown direction, William stayed put and waited.
He had a small number of supplies with him, including two towels he used each night as makeshift blankets and a creek that provided drinking water throughout his ordeal.
A family-sized pack of Smith's potato chips, however, ran out within the first two days.
When William finally heard a helicopter overhead, he got to his knees, waved and screamed to attract attention.
