UPDATE:

Luke Shambrook is still recovering in hospital and is improving every day.

A doctor from the Royal Children’s Hospital told media Luke is clearly “he’s doing very well”.

“He’s dehydrated, tired and weak but there are no signs of other physical issues at this stage,” she said.

ABC News has released the full video depicting the moment search and rescue teams located Luke Shambrook — an 11-year-old who disappeared from his campsite near Lake Eildon, Victoria.

The moving clip, filmed from the helicopter which first sighted Luke, shows the team spotting and then struggling to zoom in on the boy.

A lost and confused Luke appears to look straight down the barrel of the camera before teams on the ground rush to the boy, giving him medical attention and blankets.

Acting Seargant Brad Pascoe said of the moment:

“I just, out of the corner of my eye, caught a little flash of something. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to make me get the guys to turn the aircraft around and have a further look.

“As we got closer and were able to have a better look at him, we saw that it was a person on the ground and we were able to train the camera in and confirm that it was actually Luke.

“All of us in the crew are parents ourselves and we can only imagine what the parents of Luke have been going through. It’s just such a reward for everybody’s efforts.”

After his rescue, Acting Assistant Commissioner Rick Nugent told police he was unable to communicate with police officers, but he drank water and ate a bread roll he was given, The Guardian reports.

A message from the Luke Shambrook Support Page on Facebook said they had been in contact with the Shambrook family and they are happy to be reunited — Luke gave his father Tim a big thumbs up when they saw each other.
