News story of abduction in Australia?

Abduction? Has all the hallmarks of abduction or drug use but drugs aren't mentioned at all, which would of been an easy way to close the case if it was at all an option to blame on the guy.

The guy is fishing and then finds himself naked on a log lost in the dense rainforest the next day with no idea how he got there and rescuers having no idea how he could of got there.

Any strange goings on around this part of Australia on record?

Naked man found in rainforest near Cairns

A NAKED man was found in dense rainforest south of Cairns in a bizarre rescue that has searchers scratching their heads.

The man, 27, spent a cold night huddled among the trees on a steep ridge behind Bingil Bay at Mission Beach after losing his way, and his clothes, in the rainforest.
He was found sitting on a log in the nude.

Rescuers hauled themselves up a steep rainforested hill to get to him in territory they yesterday called "billygoat country".

"He was sitting there with scratches all over him," teenage searcher Brad Figallo said.
"We saw him and it was like, oh geeze. He'd said he needed some help. But we weren't expecting that.

"But he was more relieved than embarrassed to see us … he told us he thought he was going to die up there."

Police described the man as disorientated, scratched but otherwise not hurt when they found him about 10.30am Saturday.

Sen-Constable Tony Cliffe said the man told searchers, police and ambulance officers he had no idea how he got up the ridge or where his clothes were.

He said he had been fishing near the spot the previous afternoon.

"They gave him water, clothes and got him down," Sen-Constable Cliffe said.
He praised Bingil Bay residents who alerted emergency services and organised search parties after hearing the man's yells for help from bushland above their homes about 7am.

"They took on thick, very hard-to-navigate rainforest on the side of the mountain to get to him … we don't know how he got there and he tells us he doesn’t know either," he said.

The lost man is believed to be a newcomer to town.

Residents, who were "still scratching their heads" over the incident yesterday, said another teenager had raced home on a motorbike to get clothes for the man and gave them to Brad who trekked back up the hill to the man and an adult searcher.

They believe the hiker may have got lost after straying from a walking track up Bicton Hill, east of the ridge.

I am sorry,

But from what I read in the news article, without any additional information, it is quite easy to assume that where as no alien activity involved. Just because

"still scratching their heads"

does surely not mean aliens?

we don't know how he got there and he tells us he doesn’t know either," he said.

It could be that maybe he got lost, since he is a newcomer to town and all, wandered around, fell and hit is head as an example. When a human is knocked unconscious, medical reports indicate that they are not able to remember anything that had transpired and led up to the trauma.

Hit his head so hard all his clothes flew off? I hate it when that happens.

LOL... Quite. I have. I forgot about that part

I don't know where it can go from here but there might be activity in the area and more weirdness reported from these local papers.

This was at the end of the same story on another link. Maybe there's a bit of buggery up in the hills of Cairns if it's just a 'normal' situation?

I wonder if these guys knew each other? Something strange is going on up there at any rate.

The rescue comes days after another off-beat nude incident at Mission Beach, police arresting a semi-naked man found sleeping on the bonnet of a tourist’s rental car.
A shocked couple called police, saying a stranger had dented their car by lying across it, and was sound asleep on the bonnet without pants.
Police charged the 49-year-old Brisbane man with wilful damage.
He was interviewed and then released.
