A hand rises towards the helicopter. Below, a teenager missing for six days waves from a large rock beside a creek, surrounded by the steep walls of a rocky gorge.

9 News Australia's Short captures the discovery and the operation to bring him out. There is no spoken dialogue: the aerial camera pulls back to reveal the terrain, then moves closer as the teenager acknowledges the aircraft above.

The footage drew about 117,000 views before its first day was over, reaching an audience far larger than the channel's usual Shorts attract.

The rescue itself unfolds at close range. A Police Air Wing officer helps the teenager sit up and fits him with a rescue harness. The final sequence shows them being lifted together from the creek bed towards the waiting helicopter.
