Australia greets back-from-the-dead minister

By DPA,

Sydney : Victoria state Tourism Minister Tim Holding was found alive Tuesday after spending two days lost in sub-zero temperatures in Australia’s high country north of Melbourne.

The 37-year-old went missing Sunday after setting off on a solo overnight hike to the summit of Mt Feathertop, in Victoria’s alpine region.

There were grave fears before a rescue helicopter spotted him alive and apparently well near the summit of Victoria’s second-highest mountain.
