AN elderly dementia sufferer found safe and well after two days lost in mountain country near Melbourne tried to hide from police who spotted him from a helicopter.
The 76-year-old man had wandered from a family chestnut grove at Kinglake on Monday and spent two nights in the open in cold, wet conditions.
Sergeant Simon Brand of the Victoria Police search and rescue squad said the man was found 2.5km from the farm late on Wednesday morning.
"When he was spotted he was startled and he actually tried to evade us. He hid under a tree fern," Sgt Brand told AAP.
"The police air wing was following a creek line from the direction of the property.
"He had taken off his beanie and it was only that they saw the white part of his bald head that they spotted him.
"We got a bit lucky."
The crew in the helicopter guided search and rescue police to the man.
He was safe and well but was taken to hospital for observation.
"He was in pretty good condition apart from a sore knee and the cold," Sgt Brand said.
