Man comes back from the dead.<br />
When 35-year-old Australian Ricky McGee set off in his car to drive the 4,800 km from Brisbane to<br />
Port Hedland to start a new job, he knew that the journey would not be short. However, he did not expect to<br />
spend three months of his life alone in one of the harshest areas of Western Australia before he encountered<br />
civilization once more.<br />
According to Mr. McGee, he stopped when he saw three men on the side of the road and gave one<br />
of the men a lift. The last thing he remembers of the journey was driving up the road, feeling a little dizzy<br />
and confused. His next memory is waking up face-down in a hole covered with rocks and earth. What<br />
woke him was the noise of four wild dogs scratching at the rocks to try to get at him.<br />
McGee believes that he was drugged and dumped by his passengers, and one fact that supports his<br />
claim is that his car has never been found. After losing his vehicle, Mr. McGee says he walks for ten days,<br />
regularly fainting from heat exhaustion through a region virtually uninhabited where temperatures rose<br />
daily to over 40oC. Eventually, he found a small stream and built a shelter of branches there. He says he<br />
would go out just before dark and gathered snakes, lizards, and frogs to eat.<br />
When he finally did emerge from the bush after 90 days surviving in these conditions, it is hardly<br />
surprising that his appearance scared the life out of the first person who saw him, cattle-station manager<br />
Mark Clifford. Clifford says Mr. McGee looked like a ‘walking skeleton’ when he saw him, a description<br />
