An experienced Brisbane bushwalker has been found, having crawled for two days with a fractured leg after a 6-metre fall down a waterfall at Mount Nebo

Neil Parker, a 45-year Brisbane Bushwalkers hiking guide, splinted his shattered leg with hiking sticks and crawled for 48 hours to a clearing while lifting his broken leg every step of the way, Queensland Health have said.

Following his ordeal, Mr Parker was winched from the clearing by a rescue helicopter and has been taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane for treatment.
