A search that began on Saturday covered up to 200 square kilometres of desert before 52-year-old Theo Rosmolder was found shortly before 11am today (WST) north of Laverton.

Mr Rosmolder and five others, including his wife, were looking for gold 130km north of Laverton on Friday near the Sweet Nell mine.

The area is thick with mine shafts and open pits and surrounded by light to heavy scrub, police say.

Mr Rosmolder was believed to have been without food or water.

The search involved two fixed wing aircraft and about 30 people using four-wheel drives and motorbikes.

A police spokesman said medics were on their way to assess Mr Rosmolder’s health and administer first aid if required.

1.      Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.

The two things that I have learnt in the lesson are that the media doesn’t always tell the truth, they make things untrue stories because they have no true stories to tell, that forces them to lie and manipulate previous stories.

I realise in some occasions, news reporters present their words from the company’s view copy the words of other company’s view, they sometime copy word for word.

2. Identify TWO areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you think need a greater improvement from the last project.

An area I would like to concentrate on is more team work and I also need to support team members and offer them help.

Also not to get distracted by other groups, especially in this project because of cool technology like cameras.

3. Discuss TWO ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process. 

1 way is to refer to your contract and see what your group says.

Another way is to let them have their say before you start arguing, and then at the end, you could have a final decision.
