After a three-day search, a family that vanished in an isolated, flooded area of Australia’s outback was discovered alive.

When they did not show up in the Aboriginal community, a warning was issued.

After the region received more rain in a single day than it would have in over six months, concerns for their safety grew.

John Lark, the chief executive of the Paupiyala Tjarutja Aboriginal Corporation, told the Guardian prior to their discovery that “they are significant members of the community; they are elders and artists, and their family is very anxious to hear from them.”
