An experienced Queensland hiker who smashed his leg after falling down a waterfall has shared his story of survival.
Neil Parker set off for a hike on Sunday, but didn't tell anyone he was going, despite his years of experience.
When he didn't show up to work on Monday, his ex-wife raised the alarm and a search was initiated.
The 54-year-old fractured his leg and wrist in the six-metre fall on Sunday while walking alone along what is usually a three-hour trail at Cabbage Tree Creek on Mt Nebo, northwest of Brisbane.
