He had swum out from underneath the hull where he had been surviving, in a makeshift hammock inside the cabin, entombed by the freezing water gradually creeping closer to him, existing on meagre rations of chocolate and water.
Bullimore lost part of his little finger on his left hand, and suffered mild hypothermia, dehydration and frostbite.
An Australian military spokesman said his survival was “remarkable”.
Bullimore, too, acknowledged the odds were against him.
He said: “Every now and then, you realise how fortunate you are to be here.”
