British backpacker Jamie Neale, who is recovering after going missing in the Blue Mountains for 12 days, has made his first statement since the ordeal.
The 19-year-old experienced bushwalker went missing on July 3 after he became lost on a day walk around the Ruined Castle site.
A large search and rescue operation found the teenager yesterday, dehydrated but in relatively good health.
He is thought to have lived on seeds and a rocket-like weed that he found.
