Carolina Wilga, the German backpacker rescued from the Australian wilderness, has been discharged from hospital in Perth after five days, local media reported on Wednesday. It was initially unclear whether she would remain in Australia or leave the country.

Carolina Wilga says she survived for 11 days thanks to the "incredible" support from people searching for her.

German tourist Carolina Wilga was found alive in Australia’s remote Outback on Friday, 12 days after she went missing and a day after her abandoned van was discovered, police said.
