Three-year-old boy James O'Reilly who went missing from a holiday home in Yallingup has been located in bushland alive by a family member who was assisting with the land search operation.
Given the time he has spent exposed to the rough terrain and poor weather conditions, arrangements will be made for him to have a medical check-up as a precaution.
WA Police Force thanked all the emergency service volunteers and community members who assisted with the search.
