Bushwalker Wounded: Neil in a Haystack

16:22Neil Parker:Neil navigates the boulders with dexterity. And at about 9.30, he reaches the first of the series of waterfalls. He pauses on a boulder and looks up at the obstacle. A sheer rock face soars 100 feet above his head, split down the middle by a plume of cascading water. It's not vertical all the way to the top. At 20 feet, the rock face flattens, making it possible to scramble up without ropes. In the past, Neil has led walking expeditions around this very fall. It's a good place to take less experienced walkers because of the range of difficulty grades it presents.

17:04John Hopkins:I would lead walkers around a right-hand face above the deep water to see if they would like doing an overhang climb around and into the main part of the waterfall and up.

17:16Neil Parker:For those who didn't fancy the tricky overhang climb, he would suggest the so-called chicken track, a footpath that leads around the side of the falls up to the point at which the rock face flattens out. Ordinarily, he'd challenge himself with the harder climb.

17:33John Hopkins:But on this day, no, Neil, that's the high-grade walk. You're not putting yourself at risk today. They go around the back, do the chicken track, and come out where that leaves out to the top. So I did that, went around the back, came up to the flat rock at the top, and I've just got the flat wall face in front of me. I was on a bit of a knife edge of a rock, but it was almost flat. It would be less than five degree angle of slope.

17:58Neil Parker:He pauses on the ledge. Next to him, the waterfall crashes into the deep pool below. down. The rock beneath his feet is covered in a fine coating of brownish red algae thoroughly dried out by the sun. During the rainy season, Neil would never attempt this walk. The slippery weeds would make it far too dangerous. But now the algae adds traction beneath his trail shoes. Or at least it's supposed to. For months, this part of Australia has been experiencing higher than normal temperatures and lower than normal rainfall. The result is that the algae has dried out to an extent that Neil hasn't experienced before.

18:44Neil Parker:Rather than providing grip, the dehydrated plants turn to dust beneath his feet, transforming this beginner-level walk into a deadly booby trap. So just when he pauses to adjust his footing, Neil slips.

19:01John Hopkins:I looked down, I saw my left foot sliding, I looked up to find something to grab and there was nothing I looked back down and my right foot slipped and I just noticed this white powder coming out from under my feet

19:13Neil Parker:The algae has crumbled to a fine white dust beneath his shoes As he skids backwards, arms flailing, Neil glances over his left shoulder towards the drop he's sliding towards rocky ledges, jutting boulders, and a pool of icy water all await below. This is going to hurt.

19:35John Hopkins:And I just thought, this is going to be bad, Neil. You are going to be seriously injured when you land. If you're alive when you hit the bottom, you need to start swimming. It's going to be cold, you're going to go into shock. You've got to do what you've got to do as soon as you hit that water.

20:00Neil Parker:It's about 9 40 AM, Southeast Queensland, Australia. In the dense lush rainforest around Mount Nebo on a rocky ledge partway up a hundred foot waterfall, Neil Parker has lost his footing. The experienced bushwalker slides backwards, knees bent, arms grasping at thin air, frantically reaching for handholds in the rock wall to his right. Twenty feet below, the waterfall crashes thunderously onto a solid stone ledge before spilling out into a deep, dark lunge pool. As he slides, Neil makes one final, futile lunge for a handhold. But it's no good. And with that, he topples backwards over the edge, pinballing between the rocks on his way down.

20:56And I'm going down and I go bang, crash, splash into the water.

21:05Neil Parker:He plummets into the deep pool of water, cold rushing through his body. Seconds later, his head resurfaces as he gasps and thrashes about. It takes a moment or two to come to his senses, but when he does, there is a strange, sickening sensation in his lower leg.

21:27John Hopkins:I see, Neil, there's something really, really bad with your leg. Something is really, really not good with your left foot. Keep swimming, keep swimming, get out of the water. You don't want to go into shock. I only had about 20, 30 feet to swim up to a rocky shoal. and I pulled myself up onto the rocky shoal and I looked and I thought, I'm alive.

21:49Neil Parker:Neil lies on his back on the rocks, his chest heaving. A dull throb radiates from his left ankle. Wincing, he hauls himself up into a sitting position and looks down to assess the damage.

22:04John Hopkins:OK, what's wrong with your leg? I lifted my leg up out of the water and my foot fell off the end of my leg, just drooped off the end of my leg.

22:12Neil Parker:He stares, wide-eyed. His left ankle has snapped so severely that his foot hangs limp, moving in a way it shouldn't, as though held in place by a loose hinge.

22:27Neil Parker:Working quickly, using what he has, he fashions a splint out of his walking pole and some snakebite bandages. As he wraps his leg in elastic gauze, he feels a sudden, sharp pain in his left wrist. His left hand is swollen and bruised He'll have to keep an eye on that too

22:50Neil Parker:Once he's all strapped up, Neil turns his focus towards rescue

22:55John Hopkins:I've still got feeling in my fingers Okay, can't be too bad Okay, call for help So I bring my pack around, get my dry sack out with my phone in it No range I'm in a rock gorge, I'm surrounded on three sides by this rock enclosure. I can't get range.

23:13Neil Parker:With a trembling hand, he holds up his phone, trying to pick up a bar of signal. No luck. A grim truth settles on him. To reach an area where he can get some signal to phone the emergency services, he's going to have to get out of this gorge, or at least reach a place where its walls are lower and less obstructive. Neil grimaces. He goes to put his phone back in his pocket. But he must be shaking more than he realizes, because as he lowers his hand to his trouser pocket, he feels his phone suddenly slip from his fingers and fall with a muffled splash into the creek. Neil dives forward, plunging his arm into the water.

23:58Neil Parker:He manages to catch the device before it sinks out of reach. He pulls it from the weeds and frantically dries it off. The screen has turned an ominous black. He holds his thumb down on the power button. Nothing. He tries again, but still, no dice.

24:19John Hopkins:And so I now knew how serious this event was. Nobody knows where I am. I haven't told anybody I've gone out walking. I've had a serious accident. And now I've lost by any means of communications. Now it's like, this is no longer a bad day, Neil. This is now life and death.

25:43John Hopkins:Get started at redfin.com. Own the dream.

25:51Neil Parker:Neil takes a minute to weigh up his options. With no means of communication, he is stuck. And because he didn't tell anyone exactly where he was going, or at what time, there is little chance of anyone coming to look for him any time soon. His only hope now, it seems, is to get himself to an area where he will be visible from the sky.

26:14John Hopkins:I knew then that if I didn't do something, I'd just be found here as a sack of bones by somebody in the future. I knew that the only way I could increase my chances of being rescued was to get back to the clearing where a helicopter, if they did come searching for me, could possibly see me. So that's my plan. Got to get back to that clearing.

26:35Neil Parker:He was at the clearing this morning. It can't be more than half a mile downstream. A distance he covered in 40 minutes with the luxury of no broken bones. But traversing the rough, rocky terrain in his current condition with a shattered ankle and a likely fractured wrist could take hours. Gritting his teeth, Neil tries to push himself upright But as soon as he puts the slightest weight on his left side Excruciating pain Walking is out of the question I just thought, I'm just going for crawl

27:11John Hopkins:I'm just going to do what I can I was on my bum, I would lean on my left elbow I would hold my left leg up with my muscles And I would just pull myself along the rocks

27:26Neil Parker:Neil drags himself backwards across the boulders Keeping his injured left leg elevated off the ground It's painfully slow going Some of the boulders are the size of cars Huge blocks of dark sandstone blocking his path I have to back out, shuffle over to another location

27:47John Hopkins:Look over, yep, this is doable, I can do this and lower myself as carefully as possible without trying to hit my injured limbs. I'd lean onto my right-hand side and slide down a rock and just hope for the best when I hit the bottom.

28:04Neil Parker:Occasionally, when his left leg accidentally clips a rock, he braces for the inevitable surge of agony. But oddly, it doesn't come. The pain he feels has a muted quality, as if his body, intent on reaching the clearing, has shut down its own receptors, filtering out anything that might slow his progress. Whatever the science, he is thankful for this small mercy. With no phone to tell the time, Neil looks up at the sky. The sun has barely reached its zenith, which means he's only been going for about three hours. It feels like he's been crawling all day. I thought, I need a rest.

28:47John Hopkins:I'm just going to take a break. and so I found a flattish enough spot that I could lay back and close my eyes. I was taking the rest and it had been about 15 minutes and I started hearing a rustling sound. I think, shh, there's a snake.

29:03Neil Parker:His eyes snap open. Venomous snakes. This part of Australia is rife for them. From deadly common browns to the fearsome coastal taipan, tiger snakes and death adders. Any bushwalker knows to be on their guard for a sudden run-in with one of these creatures Neil has grown up around snakes by and large. They're only aggressive if provoked This one is probably just curious Yeah, no worries don't worry about it closed my eyes I'll go back to sleep

29:38John Hopkins:Then the rustling started getting closer and closer and I thought yeah, okay I gotta deal with this. So I opened my eyes. It wasn't a snake It was a two-meter goanna.

29:51Neil Parker:Suddenly, prowling towards him is a goanna, or monitor lizard. A large, carnivorous reptile, known for their long claws, sharp teeth, and voracious appetites. At six and a half feet, this one is a fully grown adult. Anil doesn't like the way it's looking at him.

30:14John Hopkins:They will eat keratin, they'll eat rotten meat, and they'll take a chunk out of anything. Their bites will put me in far more danger of death than the injuries I've sustained already because the bacteria in their mouth is designed to break down meat when they eat it. So I'm thinking, yeah, this is a problem.

30:32Neil Parker:The lizard slopes from the undergrowth, about 10 feet from where Neil is lying. Like a snake, goanas smell with their tongues. It's how they detect carrion and wounded prey. Neil glances down at his splinted ankle, where a dark spot of blood has started to seep through the bandage. He looks back at the goana, its tongue flickering as it creeps from the bush. He keeps eye contact with the giant creature, and for a time, everything stands still.

31:08John Hopkins:Once he realized I had an eye on him and watched him, you know, he's flicking his tongue and watching me and flicking his tongue. He walked about three meters to my left-hand side, went up and over a rock face and disappeared.

31:25Neil Parker:Big sigh of relief. Fending off a hungry goanna is the last thing he needs right now. And not wanting to hang around for the reptile to come sniffing again, he pushes himself onto his elbows and resumes his punishing slog.

31:44Neil Parker:The hours grind on as Neil pushes, pulls, and heaves his way along the creek. Eventually, the light turns golden and the shadows begin to lengthen around him. He's been going all day. It's hard to say exactly how far he's traveled, but there is still no sign of the clearing. Surely he can't be far. Still, he's utterly exhausted. He finds a flat section of rock and tugs his bag off his back. He pulls out his sleeping bag, brought in case of emergencies, and wraps himself up in it. The temperature is dropping fast, and sleeping on this cold rock isn't going to do him any favors. He pulls on a few extra layers, and hunkers down.

32:33Neil Parker:Before closing his eyes, he tosses back a couple of painkillers, swallowing the bitter pills with a swig from his water bottle.

32:41John Hopkins:And I'd just lay there, and I would close my eyes, and the moon would be at 10 o 'clock. Next time I wake up, the moon would be at 12 o 'clock. Next time, it would be 4 o 'clock. And so I wasn't really sleeping, but I was lapsing in and out of restful sleep, I guess.

33:07Neil Parker:It's dawn the next day. Cold and stiff from his restless night, Neil crawls out of his sleeping bag and turns to face the jungle. His bruised body aches all over. Beneath the bloodstained bandage, his ankle throbs with a dull, persistent pain. During the long empty hours of the night, new anxieties began to creep in. What if he sustained internal injuries in the fore? What if his fractured leg becomes infected? All these scenarios swirl around him as he shoulders his pack and sets off crawling once more.

33:49Neil Parker:All morning, Neil drags himself across the boulders, his broken bones shifting and scraping. He must be nearing the junction where the stream forks. The clearing lies right alongside it. But when he pulls out his map and tries to take a compass bearing, something seems off. If his orienteering skills are to be trusted, it appears he's only travelled a measly 300 metres, not even a fifth of a mile. This can't be right.

34:21John Hopkins:So now the mind games start playing. It's day two. You crawled all day yesterday. You I must have crawled for eight hours. You've got to be close to the junction. Why haven't we found the junction? Have you gone past the junction? You know, so I'm starting having doubts about where I am. You're just going to die out here. There's no way you can do this. You know, you've tried and tried, and you don't even seem to be moving on the map. Emotions are starting to kick in because I'm starting to worry about my family and people who don't know where I am have probably by now started to miss me. you know, it's Monday, surely someone's missed me by now.

34:59Neil Parker:Above all, there's his children. After years of estrangement, Neil has finally started to make some inroads into repairing those relationships.

35:08John Hopkins:I just started thinking, there's no way I want them to think that I've gone and abandoned them again, or I've abandoned the idea of reconnecting with them. And I thought, I've got to get out of here.

35:23Neil Parker:With a renewed determination, Neil checks the map. If he is where he thinks he is, it can't be more than 400 meters to the junction. Quarter of a mile tops. He just needs to get his head down and press on. Off he goes, squirming over boulder after boulder. His shoulders and biceps burn with the effort of dragging his own weight for more than 12 hours, but he doesn't let up. He falls into a rhythm, sweat pouring off his brow, shunting and wriggling across the rocks. At one point, his ears prick up. A muffled sound echoes off the walls of the gorge. Human voices drifting through the trees.

36:11John Hopkins:I start hearing voices because the fire trail follows the creek system but a good 400 metres away. I could hear voices and thought, people are walking down the fire trail. I start screaming at the top of my lungs. Help! Help! I'm seriously injured! I need help!

36:32Neil Parker:Neil bellows until his voice is hoarse. His cries reverberate into the wilderness. He waits, not daring to breathe, straining his ears for a reply. And then he gets one.

36:47John Hopkins:It turned out to be wampu pigeons, and the wampu makes a noise, whoop-poo, whoop-poo. It was echoing through the forest. It just sounded like muffled conversation of people. So I was dreaming that I was hearing people, or hopeful that what I was hearing were people, but it was just a local pigeon.

37:07Neil Parker:Sick with disappointment, it carries on. Another couple of hours dragged by, and still there's no sign of the junction.

37:16John Hopkins:All sorts of things are doubting in my mind, you know, where am I out, what am I doing? Still arguing with myself, looking at the map. No, I'm still going southeast. The compass says I'm still southeast. Why haven't I found this junction? I'm still in the same square I've been in for two days. So one kilometre square can't be right.

37:35Neil Parker:Neil studies the map again. The grids and contour lines swim before his eyes, blurring together into meaningless symbols. He stops the map angrily back into his pocket. On he goes. Soon enough, the sun's slanting rays tell him it's late afternoon. His second day is almost up. Neil lifts his head to check his whereabouts. And at last, there it is. The fork in the creek.

38:10John Hopkins:I thought, wow, I've actually finally made it to the junction. I'm here. I've got a chance of survival now. I've got a chance of somebody finding me.

38:20Neil Parker:It has taken him two days to crawl a distance of 600 meters, but he has made it. Once again, Neil finds a flat section of rock and curls up in his sleeping bag. Gradually, the honeyed evening light turns a dusky blue. and then shortly after nightfall he hears it not long after the moon came up i heard a helicopter

38:52John Hopkins:someone already knows what's happened they're gonna find me but i'm a needle in a haystack even if they're using thermal imaging i'm a needle in a haystack out here because they don't know where to start looking for me or where i am exactly but it gave me hope to think okay somebody's already worked it out. Help is on its way. My mood and my spirits are elevated instantly to, I'm going to get rescued tomorrow.

After an initial four month or longer dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EpGliss achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. EBCLIS, LibriKizumab, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema.

40:23Neil Parker:Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. EBCLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to EBCLIS. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe.

40:36John Hopkins:Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with EBCLIS. Before starting EBCLIS, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

40:45Neil Parker:Ask your doctor about EBCLIS and visit ebglis.lily.com or call 1-800-LILY-RX or 1-800-545-5979.

40:57Neil Parker:It's Tuesday morning. At first light, Neil looks around the creek in anticipation. Surely today is the day that this nightmare will end. By now, his absence must have been noted by someone. He heard a helicopter last night combing the area. That feels like proof that people are out looking for him. But as the sun continues to climb, his confidence starts to wane. No people, no helicopter. So I start thinking, well, when a mountain rains, there's a ridge road that goes along the whole ridge for about 30 kilometers.

41:35John Hopkins:and it's unfortunately notorious for boy racers racing at night and the police monitor it by helicopter. So now my thoughts are, OK, the helicopter wasn't there for me.

41:47Neil Parker:What if his assumptions are wrong? What if help isn't on the way? Despondent, Neil drags himself up the bank and into the clearing where he situates himself against the trunk of a stunted, spindly tree.

42:02John Hopkins:And I crawled over to that and I just laid out in the sun and I stretched out my sole emergency sleeping bag. It's two metres by one metre, bright orange, on a greeny grass background. And I laid out in the sun and thought, I'm just going to have to sit here and wait. In the end, he doesn't have to wait long. I hear the helicopter again, and now the helicopter is behind me, but in a more rhythmic movement coming towards me. And I'm, like, getting real excited now because I'm thinking, OK, hey, they're in a real slow search mode pattern. I've got a chance here. And the helicopter flew directly over the top of it.

42:41John Hopkins:And if you've ever been in a helicopter and been involved in rescue, when you're in a helicopter, you're looking out to the sides. You're not necessarily looking out underneath.

42:52Neil Parker:His heart sinks. He can't believe his bad luck. The helicopter has managed to soar so perfectly over Neil that he will have remained in the aircraft's blind spot, directly underneath the fuselage. He listens, helpless, to the sound of the rotors moving further away. But then...

43:16John Hopkins:The helicopter did a circle round, and they came in from my right-hand side, and they stopped directly above me. And the helicopter began to maneuver backwards and hover, and it was just like they found me. I'm going to be rescued. And so, great joy and relief of knowing that I've been found.

43:38Neil Parker:Neil squints up at the sky. The helicopter hovers, its powerful downdrafts agitating the forest canopy. The door slides open and two crew members are winched down to where he is sitting.

43:59John Hopkins:it's really hard to explain it to somebody if you haven't had a near-death experience to understand that you are actually going to survive this that release of endorphins i was ecstatically happy and the paramedic said to me why are you smiling i said because i'm talking to you, I should be dead. And that was it. I was just so happy to be alive.

44:27Neil Parker:Neil is strapped into a harness and winched up into the helicopter. Only 20 minutes later, he's being wheeled through hospital corridors, blinking up at the faces of the medical staff. Bizarrely, they all seem to know exactly who he is.

44:45John Hopkins:I wish we straight out of the helicopter, straight into ER. People in ER are always saying, oh, you're that guy we heard about you on the news. Oh, we're so amazing. We're going to get to look after you today. I'm like, I just landed here, you know. But they already know. They already know the story. I'm like, wow, this is incredible, you know. People in ER are already full bottle on what I've gone through, you know, my story. So, you know, the news had travelled so fast.

45:16Neil Parker:A convoluted sequence of events has led to his rescue. It was his boss who first raised concerns when Neil didn't report for work on Monday. The boss contacted Neil's sisters, for whom alarm bells began to ring immediately. With their brother's history of mental health struggles, they feared for his well-being. They contacted the Brisbane bushwalkers, who were able to figure out that Neil had gone missing while hiking up Cabbage Tree Creek. That was where the emergency rescue team focused their search, and where they eventually found him, badly injured, but alive. After arriving at the ER, Neil is whisked into a ward where medics check his vitals and stick IV drips into his arms.

46:00John Hopkins:They stabilised me and they said, OK, you know, stable enough now that we can bring your family in. I brought my sisters in and it was quite a terry reunion with my sisters because, you know, they thought I might have committed suicide and suddenly now they're seeing me. So it was a very joyful reunion with my sisters.

46:22Neil Parker:Soon, however, it's time to address his injuries. As well as shattering both his ankle and his wrist, further x-rays reveal that Neil has also crushed 20 vertebrae. It will take several complex operations to realign his broken bones and mend the damage to his spine. He is dosed up on strong pain relief, then wheeled into the operating theatre where a team of specialist orthopaedic surgeons carefully piece him back together. After his operations, Neil must remain bedbound as his bones heal. Complications arise as his body struggles to cope with the trauma that has been inflicted upon it. The pain he managed to suppress in the bush surges back with a vengeance in the hospital As he endures week after week of intensive treatment and exhausting rehab

47:14John Hopkins:It was a challenge every day but I was keen to do it I just wanted to get out of that hospital bed and out of that hospital room Because I'd been here for two, two and a half weeks looking at the ceiling, the TV I just had enough time to get out of that room And I'm not the kind of person that likes to sit and wait

47:30Neil Parker:Eventually, Neil is allowed to go home. It takes several months to return to full health, but as soon as he's ready, he's back out doing what he loves, bushwhacking trails and climbing mountains. But just as he's beginning to feel like himself again, something unexpected forces him back indoors. Only a couple of months after leaving the hospital, the COVID-19 pandemic hits, and And the resulting lockdowns leave Neil feeling just as powerless as before. The sudden isolation of quarantine is strange and unsettling, but he manages to make peace with it. As he did during his accident and subsequent rehab, he finds a path through this challenge too.

48:15John Hopkins:I just thought, well, it's happened. You just got to deal with it. Keep positive. Just keep moving on. Just don't worry about the things you can't affect. And so I just learned to stop worrying about little things and start looking at the bigger picture. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. So just enjoy life. Just enjoy what you're doing. Don't worry about what might happen next year when they decide they're going to close the Nashville Park or, you know, they're going to change the road system or the companies that you're working for, you know, in a merger. Forget all that. That might happen. Live in the moment and appreciate what you're doing now.

48:52You can choose to be happy or you can choose to dwell on negativity.

48:57John Hopkins:I've been a victim but I don't choose to be a victim. I choose to be a survivor.

49:11Neil Parker:Next time we meet Professor, Mountaineer and Environmental Scientist John Orr. In the spring of 2014, the 44-year-old is leading a research trip in a remote corner of the Himalayas. Until one morning, when John experiences firsthand the dangers of doing scientific research on the roof of the world. A hidden danger in the snow thrusts him into a seemingly insurmountable scenario. Tumbling into a freezing cold chasm that sinks into the very bowels of the mountain, it seems there's only one question. Will John die a quick death, or a slow one. Trapped, critically injured, and surrounded by icy darkness, his only hope is an audacious, elaborate, and incredibly dangerous self-rescue.
