The little girl who was locked on a bus for six hours in sweltering heat has made a miraculous recovery after being released from hospital, tucking into some fast food with her family after the terrifying ordeal.
Nevaeh Austin, three, walked out of Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane on Monday, where she was airlifted last week in a critical condition suffering kidney failure.
The toddler was was found unresponsive on a minivan outside Le Smileys Early Learning Centre at Gracemere, near Rockhampton on May 4. Temperatures on the day were about 29C outside.
Estimates suggest the interior of a car could have reached 56C after just 2 hours in direct sunlight.
But just hours after being discharged, Nevaeh, her mother and father Shane sat down with big smiles as they dined at Red Rooster at Brisbane Airport on the way back to Rockhampton.
