An Australian man has been rescued after 11 days lost in the jungles of Laos.

Hayden Matthew Adcock endured torrential rain and flooding. And even when a helicopter did spot him ten days ago. it was unable to land in the rocky, heavily forested national park in the country's east. And so the 40-year Victorian had to endure another day out in the elements. He's now in a Bangkok hospital in a critical condition. But he's still the talk of the town of Khoun Kam.
