Ben Gibbs says he was singing when he came across Will Callaghan, standing with bare feet 'just really angelic', alone in the forest on Mount Disappointment.
Ben Gibbs has been visiting Mount Disappointment since he was a child and knows the area wellHe described the successful search as "everybody's effort"Mr Gibbs knew the boy — who had already spent two bitterly cold nights alone in the forest on Mount Disappointment — had autism and was non-verbal."I was singing because I thought maybe if he hears some noise [he might respond] but he's got autism so he's not going to respond to shouting and things like that.
There were grave fears for the boy, with temperatures plunging to around zero degrees Celsius both nights. Mr Gibbs said Will looked to be in reasonable health and wasn't shivering too badly. It was unclear whether he had been staying in the same place the whole time or moving around.
