in the South Australian outback
Objectif Comprendre un article de presse en ligne
A young Perth family have found themselves stranded in the outback
by
rising floodwaters².
Orios and Lindsey Zavros and their children Zoe and Zane were on
an
adventure in the Simpson Desert in
South Australia when heavy rain
5
left them trapped. The family of four
first got their vehicle bogged³ and
set off an emergency beacon. But
emergency services have been unable
to reach the Kallaroos
family, with a major storm sweeping across South
Australia. Mr and Mrs Zavros have been told that
they could be stranded
for up to two weeks.
The family have indicated that they are generally
10
in good health, and have water and food
. Emergency service crews have
parachuted in other essentials, including a satellite mobile phone.
It seems the Zavros are no strangers to travelling, posting of their
various
adventures
across Australia on social media.
