Aussie Desert Ordeal Man Recovers

By The Associated Press

BROOME, Australia (AP) -- A 33-year-old fireman from
Alaska who survived 43 days in Australia's Great Sandy
Desert swapped plants and flowers for ice cream and
watermelon as he recovered in a hospital Tuesday.

Robert Bogucki of Fairbanks, Alaska, also had an
intravenous saline drip rehydrating him after his marathon
trek through some of Australia's most unforgiving terrain.

Bogucki said he ate plants and drank muddy water to
survive during his ordeal in Australia's barren northwest.
He shed 44 pounds during his one-man odyssey but was
reported to be in good condition. ->
