Thomas Phillips, who miraculously walked out the bush with his three children yesterday, has apologised to his sister for putting the family through a 17-day ordeal.
Thomas and his three young children, Jayda, Maverick, and Ember were last seen on Saturday 11 September at Marokopa Beach.
Police and locals searched for 12 days. On Thursday, with the family all but giving up hope, the four walked through the front door of his parents' home - safe and well.
