 The australian woman Shannon Leah Fraser stumbled out of the bush on Wednesday morning, reported local media.
The 30-year-old had gone to the Golden Hole swimming spot with two men, including her partner, when she disappeared on 21 September.
She is now recovering in a hospital and is being treated for infected cuts and severe sunburn.
Ms Fraser's companions first raised the alarm after she got separated from them and failed to return to their vehicle, said Queensland Police.
The mother-of-three's disappearance sparked a search operation involving 25 officers from the police and state emergency services.

Mariano Rajoy Spanish PM promises ‘transparency’ in Ebola scare



The Prime Minister of Spain Mariano Rajoy appealed for calm Wednesday after a Madrid nurse contracted the deadly Ebola virus, promising “transparency” over the scare which has sparked fierce criticism of national health safeguards. Rajoy told parliament officials would “provide all the information possible to the public with total transparency”, after the nurse became the first person to become infected with the disease outside of Africa. “What we have to do right now is be vigilant but keep calm.” Four other people including the woman’s husband have been hospitalised for observation since they were considered at risk of having the disease. The government has set up a special commission to coordinate work between Spanish officials and liaise with European institutions, he said. The European Commission on Tuesday demanded an explanation from Spain of how the nurse got infected in a specialised disease unit.
