An Australian woman has been found 17 days after she got lost in the bush in northern Queensland with no food.

澳大利亚一位女子在昆士兰北部某处树林中失踪17天后被发现，她的身上未曾携带食物。

Shannon Leah Fraser stumbled out of the bush on Wednesday morning, reported local media.

The 30-year-old had gone to the Golden Hole swimming spot with two men, including her partner, when she disappeared on 21 September.

She is now recovering in a hospital and is being treated for infected cuts and severe sunburn.

The mother-of-three's disappearance¹ had sparked a large police search operation, which included divers² checking the pond.

Search teams dropped coloured markers in the area and family members said Ms Fraser followed them out of the bush, according to the Courier Mail.

Australian police said she was found just 30m from where she disappeared, said Sky News.

A banana farmer spotted³ her when she came out of the bush and immediately sent her to a nearby hospital, said the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Family members told media that Ms Fraser had survived on creek⁴ water, small fish and insects. At one point, she sat in a creek for three days to soothe⁵ her cuts and burns.

Ms Fraser, who weighed 90kg previously⁶, reportedly lost 16kg during her ordeal⁷.

Police have said they are still investigating the circumstances of her disappearance.
