Reginald Foggerdy, 62, had embarked on a hunting trip last week with his brother in the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia.
He went missing Wednesday after setting off to hunt animals in the dry, sandy wilderness, wearing only a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops, according to police.
After a "massive" land and air search, police officers aided by Aboriginal trackers found Foggerdy "extremely dehydrated, a bit delusional" on Tuesday, said Police Superintendent Andy Greatwood.
